900 feet - OMG! My guess is that 99.99% of the people in the world have no idea what "900 feet" means in this story. Question 1 - how much hose does the typical fire truck carry? Question 2 - how far apart are hydrants usually? Question 3 - how much water can the typical pumper send over 900 feet of hose? Question 4 - how often do FDs train at pumping thru 900 feet of hose? Question 5 - if this article said it was a 20 alarm fire at a 222 acre wildfire and that 29,000 feet of hose were used - would the typical readers head explode? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
