The Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department (Madisonville, Tennessee) protects a rural area. Chief Chad Leming says the department’s 4 GUYS pumper/tanker works in conjunction with another pumper and tanker and is capable of being a water supply or fire attack unit. The large tank allows for a stronger initial attack.
