In rural firefighting, access to water is everything. When hydrants aren’t available, the ability to transport water becomes a matter of life and property. That’s where Osco Tank & Truck Sales comes in. Our rugged, high-capacity tanker trucks ensure your department is ready to respond when water is scarce and the stakes are high.
The Challenge: Limited Water, High Risk
Rural America is full of fire hazards—barns, machine sheds, fuel, crops, dry fields, and homes scattered across remote areas. What it often lacks is access to municipal water sources or hydrants.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA):
“With their potentially volatile mix of components—fuel, machinery, combustibles, animals, and more—coupled with their isolation, farm fires can present significant challenges for small rural fire departments.”
The threat is real—and growing. That’s why water management is crucial for rural fire departments.
The Solution: Fusion Series Vacuum Tankers
At Osco Tank & Truck Sales, our Fusion Series Vacuum Tanker Trucks are designed to meet the demands of rural firefighting. These high-performance tankers make water transport fast, efficient, and dependable—even in the most remote locations.
- Self-Filling at Up to 2,000 GPM: Our vacuum tankers can fill themselves quickly—up to 2,000 gallons per minute—saving time when seconds count.
- Draw Water from Nearly Any Source: Pull from lakes, ponds, rivers, and even swimming pools. Fusion Series trucks are built for flexibility in rural and off-grid conditions.
- Custom-Built for Your Department: Every tanker is made to order. Choose from stainless steel, aluminum, or mild steel tanks with capacities up to 4,000 gallons. We tailor the design to meet your operational needs, terrain, and budget.
Your Chassis, Your Choice
We build our tankers on the chassis of your choice—whether it’s Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, International, or Mack. Already have a chassis? We can mount a Fusion Series unit on a refurbished or customer-supplied vehicle to keep costs down without sacrificing quality.
