WATER CARRIER

 

There are 5 Water Carriers on the run and 1 which is used for Driver Training in Edinburgh. The Whale Tankers are vacuum tankers and are filled by sucking up water extremely fast or from a hydrant whereas the Larbert and Driver Trainer ones are filled from hydrants. They were all inherited by SFRS from the legacy brigades. There don't seem to be any plans to get more Water Carriers at present.
