A video was made of the department with assistance of other departments for instruction on transporting and dumping water in drop tanks.

"Tanker 215 is a 1998 Freightliner FL80 Chassis constructed by Semo. T-215 has a 500 gpm pump with 1,250 gallons of water. T-215 is unique because it is four wheel drive and has a Compressed Air Foam System with an independent motor that operates the pump and is separate from the road engine. T-215 has a front bumper nozzle that is controlled from the cab along with ground sweeps for grass and woods fires. T-215 has three dumps that are also controlled from the cab that can be used during a water shuttle to fill drop tanks. T-215 is housed at Station 1 and responds to woods fires, grass fires and structure fires."
