Freightliner M2-112 3,000-Gallon Tender Walkthrough

A walkthrough of the Town of Calumet's new 3,000-gallon fire tender — a Freightliner M2-112 Plus water hauler with no pump, built to do one job well.

September 1st 2026·Walkarounds

This build covers the essentials of a single-purpose water tender: an Innovative Controls multiplex screen and soft-glow tank level gauges, dual Zico drop tank carriers, rear storage compartments under the dump valve, and a Fireman's Friend direct-fill valve. Dump valve and scene light controls are split between the street side and curbside for faster access on scene.

The M2-112 Plus chassis is discontinued, only a few builds left for this platform. If your department needs a straightforward water hauler — or a tender with a pump — Midwest Fire can help you spec it out.
