FDNY policy is to operate in "pressure" mode when supplying a system. Wonder if one "volume" pumper and one "pressure" pumper would complement each other in a situation like this? Maybe if there was a second, separate Siamese, correction FDC.

If a BC is assigned to a hospital, it is most likely for a member who is being treated there. Doesn't have to be in 5 boros.
