Why ladders and special units on a brush fire
Click to expand...
Couple of reasons.
1 is manpower. In some cases ffs will use Indian cans, water cans and brush brooms to put a fire out.
2 on more then 1 occasion, towers have been set up to put out brush fires. I've been to several fires where we've had 3 or 4 engines lobbing water thru deck guns and at least 2 if not more towers operating at the same time.
 
Brooklyn said that Gerritsen Beach Vollies were also responding with their Brush Fire Unit
