Tanker 10 was put into service in the early 1980s and was vital to serving areas that didn't have fire hydrants.

The water wagon was built on a 1963 Mack platform that was converted from a local construction company. It was capable of delivering more than 7,000 gallons of water to the scene of a fire.

Tanker 10 was replaced in 1990 by a newer truck. It was sent to the Pocantico Hills Fire Department where it served for a few more years, according to the Croton-on-Hudson Fire Department.
