Chris:
Loved your dissertation up till the end, about the tanker/tender shuttle.
Our Fire District is about 482 Sq Miles, all the surrounding districts are
of similar size. We have a single 2200 Gal Tender 1984, most of the other
districts have the same. When our FDP finally arrives at a fire, sometimes
20 min. after the call, the haul distance for the tenders if often over 4
miles round trip, and that can very well be from a draft. Can't even keep
250 Gpm going until the second tender arrives (about 30 Min. later). I'd
love to see a 1000 Gpm tender operation, but it will never happen here.
On the same note we only have standpipes where there is water. Go figure?
