    0:10 Dewald has no interest in fighting fires, but approaches an obvious IDLH with no scba, Im guessing it’s so he can waste a few moments going back to his rig to put one on after firemen have already started knocking fire down.

      1. The aerial is fine where it is. Perhaps it was in that position to get access to both sides of the building
      2. Any member who was in the IDLH had their SCBA on.
      3. This was not a training fire

      @@jefforr439 It should be good for more than 750 gpm, but the problem is people tend to get into a habit of things, and it's always better to opt for more capacity than to have to go back and disconnect and reconnect a supply line. Our front preconnect is strictly for drafting out of a dump tank in front of the truck, as we may have to back into a drive and set up a tank so that we don't block the road for tankers.
      My full time large city FD doesn't have them at all.
      I would in NO WAY call this a "BS" fire, it has the potential to go to a multiple alarm in building construction like this.
