Yes I know this is the American forum but since there is no UK version yet, thought I should stick it in here
Tankers are not widely used in the UK, well in Scotland anyway. There is only 6 tankers for the whole of Scotland, this is because of there being a wide range of fire hydrants everywhere for the fire service to access. Because of this, me and a wide range of other people in the community feel like they should be optional as we try to have the proper units at the proper stations, and that's not possible if we require a tanker due to the select areas they are in.
So really, it would be heavily appreciate if it was no longer required.
