5560 is the premier tanker at West Harrison. Built by Westec Fire, this truck is designed to be the primary first in tanker to most fires in our district. With 3000 Gallons of water carrying capability, this truck is a favorite among our members.  5561 and 5562 are identical International Pierce Tankers with 2000 gallon capacity.  All of our tankers have "stand alone" capability, meaning they can be used as pumpers if necessary.  These trucks also carry extra Class A and Class B foam, airpacks, drop tanks, and a full complement of hose.
