I just looked. TFT make 3 different inlet sizes. 2.5, 3, 3.15. All with 2.5 outlets. Pretty much no matter what you do your limited to 500 gpms. Because thats what its designed for. The typical goto is 2.5. We used 3" with 2.5 couplings just for friction loss reasons. Our Elkhart RAN was also...

I dont listen in but I have seen the arc fly on several occasions. At least according to the run downs on here. I'd guess and say maybe 1 out of 10 times. Drones have a more limited weather window, and also more restrictions then helicopters. So theres that consideration also.

Having them as a back up isn't a bad idea. When the drone is at another fire or delayed an arc can fill the gap.

I've seen the 39, as the ARC several times. Not sure what the criteria is for when the ARC assigned.

From Jersey Shore Emergency Response FB page. Great TI video from a drone https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1G2pCsM5fq/

Ive done one a few of those. As soon as i saw it you can't miss it.

Havent watched the video but it looks like they are flaring off a damaged propane tank.

Count is now at least 5 municipalities suing AIP. LA County, San Diego, Portland, Milwaukee and now Allentown Pa...

Blitzfire just happens to be the brand specific name from TNT. Elkhart Bass is called a RAN or Rapid Attack Nozzle. Same thing different name. Stay safe and low.

There great for a lot of things. Hazmat would be another, where you can set it up and let it sweep large lpg tanks and keep the crews out of potential blast/bleve areas or an area that may be unstable. Its one of those things that took someone long enough to figure out.

Looks like this. Its a smaller portable high volume monitor. In theory, 1 person can move it around or use it as a high volume nozzle but its awkward as hell. Tried it at a fire with Elkharts version. You can also set it and forget it and it will sweep an area without being watched over. Ours...

Yes and under ideal conditions. Perfect hydrants, mains hard suction, etc. Plus what the 2 engines supplied went right into a 2nd pump to boost it further. I started looking at this the other day when I saw how much equipment was moving water. Before the SP, they were flowing about 11k gpms...

Just doing some internet sleuthing, I'm thinking that they use Key Pro Flo. Main reason is, that Key Industrial ldh doesn't come in yellow, only red and black and the other ldhs either come up to 5 inch or no yellow. Could possibly be an equivalent from Snap tite or similar. Service pressure...

Only reason I thought Mills Basin is that he mentioned Brooklyn. Its behind where the multiple in the parking garage at Kings Plaza was a few years ago, before Floyd Bennett if your going by water from Howard Beach towards the Marine Parkway

This is just me, and having a high volume unit assigned to the 2 airport hose wagons (316 and 308, using them as first out units similar to high pressure units downtown or the old sat system where the engjnes were 2000 gpms but the rest of the fleet were 1000. You could extend that to the sat...

If I understand this correctly, there were certain mains basically dedicated to the original super pumper system. There were larger and higher pressure. The average engines couldn't hook up to them by design. It was a noticeable difference in the hydrants and different threads or outlets. Im...

Are you thinking of Mills Basin?
