Water Carriers (WrC), also known as Water Tenders, are specialised support vehicles that transport large amounts of water to incidents where mains water supplies or natural sources are unavailable. They usually carry between 9,000 litres and 16,000 litres ( a frontline pump typically holds about 1800 litres), although smaller, trailer-based water bowsers are also employed to reach remote locations. Foam Tenders operate similarly, but they carry large volumes of foam to incidents. holds about 1,800 litres), although smaller, trailer-based water bowsers are also used to access remote locations.
