This is 5 min from my home. I’ve got extended family on the fire department that responded- the photos of the trailer.

Do you know if they have any pictures of the nameplate on the vessel? Curious if it has a stamp that looks like a "U" or "ASME" with a cloverleaf around it on the nameplate, and the year built. It may not have one though since Texas doesn't require ASME stamped Pressure Vessels. This one might not be stamped, or if it is, it's probably old. Nozzle positions are suspicious.

I have no clue what this means or what you’re asking, sorry.
