with a Pump
When a mobile water supply apparatus is parked in close proximity to the fire scene and
pumpers are using its supply during suppression operations, the water tender is being
used - answeras a stationary reservoir or "nurse tender."
When a mobile water supply apparatus uses a quick dump valve to off-load its water
supply into folding portable water tanks, the water tender is being used - answerin a
mobile shuttle operation
