SEVEN Wessex Water Authority 2,000-gallon tankers have been helping Dorset firemen fighting fires in the drought.
The tankers have been carrying waste water to the fires in order that drinking water may not be used.
The tankers will be sterilised afterwards. NEXT WEEK Transport specialist Robert Wynn and Sons Ltd will complete the move of a 251-ton steel drum, nicknamed "monster from the Midlands," to its new home in Kent.
The week-long journey is being handled by two Super Scammel Contractors, a Scammell Contractor, and two Nicolas bogies in a 17-axle combination — all accompampanied by a police escort. Loaded, the road train measures 180ft.
The drum, 106ft 5in long, manufactured by the Thompson Wolverhampton Division of Clarke Chapman Ltd at Wolverhampton, will form part of the Littlebrook 'EY Power Station on Pomona Docks in Manchester.
