This is a bulk water carrier or "water bowser". It contains a much larger amount for water than a fire engine carries. This really helps at incidents where there are no hydrants or open water supplies (rivers or swimming pools that the fire service can use to get water). as it carries such a large volume of water it can pump the water in to the tank of other fire engines so that they can fight the fire.
