Who is the second satellite  that the division requested since 159/sat 5 is assigned on the all hands? Would it be 284/sat3?

Progress report at 1933 said companies operating with tank water. 

I think I read somewhere here that the new SI pumpers will not have booster tanks.

Is that right?

  They WILL have booster tanks but not 750 gallon, only 500.

I always have to snicker when I hear FDNY responded to her brushfire.  They are probably the only fire department in the nation laydown large diameter hose lines (from the satellites) to supply Tower Ladders for a brushfire!  ;D
