I know FDNY pioneered TL ops is 8 working a fire the most at one incident?

The last you heard there was 8 in operation. When the CoD is 10-84 no more reports are necessary. There was a total of 9 TLs in operation. Not aware of a protocol of limiting to only 8 TLs or was never mentioned throughout the years

not a limit but has there been more in use at 1 incident.
 
The same thing. “The MOST at one incident”…..either way, there are no limitations for TLs ….or Satellites, multiverses, blitzfires, engines, ladders, hand lines, etc. now the size of the water main might limit their use , or “the MOST that can be used”

They know there is no limit on the amount of TLs! They are asking if there has ever in recorded FDNY history been more than that used at one fire or incident (to anyones knowledge - OTJ as a FF, dispatcher, officer, or off the job). I think a simple yes, no, or idk would suffice?

Super Pumper 1 & SAT 4 operated today… this will now be considered the first fire the super pumper operated at. I will have a video of it in the coming days. SP was supplied by 2 Engines off 2 different mains got around 4,800gpm off the main deck gun. Max on the main deck run is 8k and then plus 2 rear monitors they do 2k each so total max would be 12k… still would need another 2 more engines off other mains or the Pumps and Marine unit to get full pressure but still was going 200 feet across the fire building.

I’m a tad confused. This “SP” can”t have lines connected to large mains directly? It needs to be fed from other pumpers? Its predecessor had lines from hydrants directly. Also, what is its pumping capacity rated at? Thanks.

It would only be getting hydrant pressure. They would need to pump at the hydrant. SP dropped 11 lengths of 6inch and SAT 4 dropped 14 or 16 lengths can’t remember the number (long day) it’s the distance

Thanks Skyler. So that’s the difference between this one and the original? It can’t stay at the “hook up site” and have the Satellites stretch to the fire? Appreciate the info, Dad was a Lieutenant with the original Superpumper.
