tire pops at 6:00 firefighter has to dig out hydrant in roadway - FDs used to check all the hydrants 4 man crew ====================== from the comments @thomaswhite8822 3 weeks ago Interesting the difference between US and GB. Our hydrants are above ground. Our attack line are about the size of their supply lines. Their attack lines are much smaller but they appear to be charged all the time. Seems like you could get water on the fire a lot faster with an attack line that is always charged. Reply 1 reply @Pphoxinus 2 weeks ago In the UK most trucks have hosereels that are connected directly to the appliance and can be used (almost) immediately as seen, but we then have three (although two commonly used in 45 and 70 mm) layflat sizes that can be used for moving water from a hydrant to a pump and from a pump delivery to a branch and on to the fire. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
