Tender Task Force Drill in Ocean County

Firefighters from Ocean County participated Saturday in a Tender Task Force drill. Fire companies attending included Stafford, Eagleswood, West Tuckerton, Tuckerton, Parkertown, Barnegat, Waretown, Warren Grove and Cassville. Water tenders - sometimes called tankers - hold thousands of gallons of water and are used in areas without fire hydrants or when hydrant systems cannot deliver enough water to fight a fire.
