Nicely-done Water Trailer in the back-ground, too.

Looks about 500 gallons - 2200 litres, maybe.

In Canadian Army, they were towed behind a "Deuce-and-a-half" - a 6-wheel army truck, to supply potable water to the troops, and were nick-named "Water Buffalo's"

Both vehicles are a credit to the Volunteer Fire-fighters.

The trailer was build by the men of the fire department self for lots of foam concentrate.
I can't give you an exact number of the volume of trailer.

Do you know Pat, Andreas sums up what firefighting should be to me. Like a lot of volunteers the world over,you need something, you make it, not whinge until some man in a suit comes up with the money, then buys some over rated expensive piece of rubbish. Best of luck lads!
