2nd fire in 4 days in buildings under construction. Recent fire: https://www.denver7.com/news/local-news/building-under-construction-catches-fire-in-aurora https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/large-fire-aurora/73-b6af8b7d-a9d8-496e-82f5-55b114cee87e?ref=exit-recirc...

Wow........$3,350,089.56 per rig for 9 rigs.

I believe that is a rotation stop. The outlet that the gated wye is attached to swivels.

Found this interesting video/slideshow on the Original Super Pumper:

As I recall, those Mack's were a lot lighter than the newer rigs. That may have some bearing on top speed.

I'm pretty sure that the original Super Pumper is now in a private museum, but does anyone know what happened with the Super Tender?
