With that wind it looks like they had trouble even putting a dent in the fire.

Is there any simularity of the NJ Neptune System to that of what was the FDNY Super pumper System/Tender?
 
The New Jersey Neptune System comprises more than just the pump shown in Turk's photo (which, by the way, is a 5000 gpm unit). It consists of:

Neptune Pump: 5000 GPM Pump
Iron Man Manifold trailer: 6-8000 GPM units
Hose Tender 1: 2000 Ft 12" hose
Hose Tender 2: 2000 Ft 12" hose
Foam Tender 1: 4000 Gallons of Universal Gold
Foam Tender 2: 4000 Gallons of Universal Gold
(28) Tots – 275 Gallons; total of 8000 Gallons of 1 to 3 percent A.R.A.F.F Universal Gold

There are two complete systems in New Jersey; one for the northern half of the state, and one for the southern half. Here are some photos:

BTW: The Neptune System was designed to be able to interface with, and HAS operated with FDNY's big boats (343 and Firefighter II). You can move a lotta water through a 12 inch hose!
