Around 8 am this morning Nineveh Fire Tanker 101 and numerous other departments in the county were dispatched for mutual aid to a residence fire in Needham Fire Departments District. Nineveh Tanker 101 responded. The first arriving crews quickly started fire suppression. A hydrant was located near the scene. The tankers were no longer needed and were cancelled.

Mutual aid is a team effort of fire departments helping each other in their efforts to serve their community and others. Fire departments use Mutual Aid agreements to share equipment, resources, and personnel, ensuring enough help for incidents like fires/disasters that exceed a single fire departments capacity. It fills gaps in manpower and or specialized apparatus and gear especially in low staffed or volunteer departments. This prevents departments local resources from being overwhelmed. Nineveh Fire provides and receives mutual aid from numerous departments in the surrounding area. Mutual aid and automatic aid are a vital resource for fire departments across Johnson County.

Tanker trucks are fire trucks that haul massive amounts of water. Tanker trucks typically haul anywhere from 1500 - 5000 gallons of water and sometimes even more. They are used as a resource to supply water to the fire scene through means of water shuttling and mobile water supply. They are often dispatched in areas of the county that are without hydrants or areas known to not have many hydrants. Tankers play a crucial role in fire extinguishment in rural areas.
