Big Foot was delivered by Atlas
as a 2500 gallon pumper tanker
during a time when the water
distribution system in the
Thomas Drive Service area was
very spotty. During the early
years of service Big Foot was
critical to operations through
out the County as the largest
pumper/tanker in service. As the
area has grown the water
distribution system has become
very comprehensive and the need
for a Tanker diminished. In 1996
the original tank was replaced
with a 1500 gallon poly tank and
the unit moved to a dual pumper
/ hazardous material support
roll. With the delivery of the
state regional hazardous
material vehicle and trailers
Engine has taken on a primary
water supply role again. In
January 2007, Big Foot was
invited to audition for CMTv’s
Trick My Truck – Chief Walker
and Capt Howard made the cross
country drive to Joplin Mo for
the audition – 56 MPH out and
back (205 governed speed).
Though not selected for the 2007
season Big Foot’s audition tape
remains on file for later
seasons if the show is renewed.
