CVFRD Crew 3 conducting Tender shuttle training in between calls today. The large red container you see the water being dumped into is known as a “port-a-tank”. In the world of firefighting, port-a-tanks are portable water reservoirs that provide an immediate & reliable water source during firefighting operations. These collapsible tanks, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand gallons, are quickly deployed on-site, ensuring a continuous flow of water that allows firefighters to combat fires in areas with limited water access.
