South Kitsap Fire and Rescue (SKFR) Tender Operator program is ideal for men and women who would like to volunteer for the fire department but don't want to go through the extensive training that is required for firefighting.  Since SKFR covers a large rural area, we often respond to structure fires is areas that don't have hydrants for a water source.  Our Tender Operators play a critical role by driving our water tenders to these fire scenes and supplying fire suppression crews with water.
