Deputy Chief Doug

my dept also has had Mike do classes on elevator/escalator rescue, it's amazing how much we didn't know, and we do a lot of elevator rescues at the mall

that's because 1500gpm is at draft. on a plug you'll get lots more. just to say it again and I checked with my pump mechanic tonight to check myself, it is the same pump. impeller and all. it's gearing in the transfer case, horsepower( not even an issue now adays), intake water and discharge water.

has nothing to do with RPM's thats just gearing in the transfer case

a 1500 gpm pump and a 2000 gpm pump are the same casting, just as a 1000 and a 1250 are the same. it is the number and size of discharges that detemines rating and then to get rating you need the second intake. as a side note my ladder has a 1750 rated pump(only drivers side intake) they use a 3" suction along with a 6" to get the flow

FD connection/ siamese ( if it has clapboards)

THANKS !!!! now I have to rent Mother, Juggs and speed

your too young to recall that incident!!!!

1/st low-low done that!!

what a waste of space, ,we have 2 bumpers lines. 1 is 100' of 1 3/4" for a car fire line and the other is 100' (50' preconnected) of 1" trash line. pull it, put the nussance fire out and worst case senario throw it in a compartment and bring it back to pack

If you do a lot of limited access hiway work like my dept. a top mount is the safest for the pump operator
