They had fire patrols back in 1975 when I first rode the RR. However they didn't add the tank car until relatively recently, maybe (probably) post Bart. During Bart's reign the weather was generally very soggy - he used the wet weather as an excuse (and a not alltogether unreasonable one) for not changing out enough ties. I remember doing some boonie-cruising in 1999 that was more akin to water-skiing than anything else.
