Just some food for thought (from the "FirstOnScene" photos above -.
First due engine had plenty of room with an unobstructed hydrant. The choice was to go with the yellow python instead of the - just as quick - hydrant connection. You can see at least 3 kinks in that line.
What's the advantage of so many ECC's going with the front connection nowadays, instead of using the hydrant connection?
It certainly can't be speed, and not an improved water source. As a former ECC, not a criticism; just inquiring minds want to know.
Every thing you see; every thing you do, you can learn something from.
