DRIVING ON: MOBILE ATTACK AND SUPPORT
In light fuels engine crews can knock down flames at a steady pace. Their role changes at road's end; when vehicle access to the fire's edge is blocked they can fill portable fold-a-tanks, providing line crews a constant supply of water. Foam may be added to the mix as a surfactant, maximizing water use and coverage.
