    More interesting fluff. I was chief /fire marshal for Celina TN which is the namesake of Celina TX. The TX version is doing a lot better than its TN counterpart.

    Port Arthur TX refinery gets a super pumper. July 2023

    That is what we spec'd on both of ours. E-One at the time was the exclusive builder with Williams. We hung a 3000 gpm off the tip of a ladder and they hadn't built one when they bid it! Crazy how far it has come.

    Port Arthur TX refinery gets a super pumper. July 2023

    So basically pick your ugly. Actually that is a fantastic industrial rig. Having been involved in designing and buying two industrial rigs, this one is the cutting edge of volume pumpers. Nice rig.

    Beaumont CA Quint

    New EPA standards and the supply chain BS has really screwed with the ability of a department to spec,, bid and receive any apparatus in a timely manner.

    Frisco TX FD. New rig July 2023

    That is a nice rig. First saw the pumps on TDA in California, specifically Huntington Beach and had a nice long convo with the captain. I like the idea. It works in some applications.

    OUR MILITARY.

    Did a D-Day/Battle of the Bulge tour in 2011. We stayed in Ouistreham, it is worth a visit. The thing I noticed was the appreciation the locals had for Americans. Kinda shocked actually.

    LODD Paris, France

    The algerians are street cretians in Paris. My friend chased one down that stole his wife's purse and beat the crap out of him until the police arrived. Interesting that it is not just USA where these entitled people can act the way they act to get what they want. Crazy.

    Something for the Lawyers

    I respectfully disagree in the fact that it makes the first due company up to 50% more effective in the stretching of the first line and getting water on the fire.

    6/28/23 Manhattan All Hands Box 1689
