The bottom line is this it is an industrial firefighting pumper designed to fight flammable liquid fires. Just look at the largest of the three monitors on the truck. It is a Williams Fire control foam nozzle. Yes it can throw a massive amount of water without foam but does not have the punch...

So I saw a picture of the old fog applicator nozzle on an FDNY C85 engine company (that Mack posted - thank you). I trained with one when I first came on the job. I believe US Navy Fire teams still use this device. In fact the applicator pipe attaches to a Rockwood Nozzle aka Navy Nozzle. So...

Mack, thank you on behalf of many for your passion to preserve and share much of the history of FDNY and its various members and units. Your passion, dedication and countless hours devoted to research and content preparation for this is obvious and very much appreciated. Stay well

I like the way you think LOL

Hopefully the Chiefs will keep an eye on the members and rotate crews more frequently and utilize RAC units
