What is the main water capacity on a Type 3 engine?

A Type 3 engine is designed for wildland fire suppression and is characterized by its specific water capacity, versatility, and maneuverability in rugged terrain. The industry standard for a Type 3 engine is that it has a minimum water tank capacity of 300 gallons. This capacity allows these engines to support initial attack operations effectively while being able to transport necessary firefighting resources over rough terrain. The 300-gallon capacity enables sufficient water supply for various firefighting strategies without compromising the engine's agility and operational capabilities in wildfire scenarios.
