During this third-alarm fire in Lower Providence Township (PA), units had to switch from a municipal water system to a tanker shuttle operation because the level of the tanks that supply the hydrant system dropped to a level that was too low. This video shows the tankers responding to and from the fire scene of the fire and the fill site in Collegeville Borough, Montgomery County Pennsylvania, a six-mile round trip.

There was also a Mayday called at this fire. Audio from the Mayday can be found at FirefighterNation.com.
