7,500 gallon dip tank installation January 11th 2006 by Kern County Fire
Department.
This tank was installed at 5,090' elevation, N35° 03' 19.88" W118°
22' 49.74" on the East ridge of the Tehachapi valley to further expand
the wildland suppression capabilities of the Heli-attack division.
The Greater Tehachapi Fire Safe Council and all the residents of The Old
West Ranch would like to extend a very sincere THANK YOU! to Shane Reed
- Crew boss Helicopter 408, Bob Baker - Fire heavy equipment operator,
and the Kern County Fire Department administration for all the planing
and logistics required to make this possible.
