Was water supply an issue here? Doesn't look like too much water is being used in these photos...

from being on the first in truck. the fire had a good 15-20 minute head start prior to use being dispacthed. first in truck ran out of water quick. since it was supplying 2 hand lines and a deck gun. we went right to exposure protection being the advanced stage of the fire and the #2 exposure was 20 feet away and the #3 exposure was 20 feet away also. it was a good job done by everyone. kept confined to the original fire building with only melted siding on the exposures.

Nice looking pictures thanks for sharing. Would have thought there would be more ladder pipes in operation. Nice job protecting exposures that were so close the the fire building.
