E-238 E-216(arrived 1st) TL-146 BC-45 E-229(arrived 2nd) L-104 L-106 (FAST?) L-119 L-108

Other Units I saw there in no specific order of arrival:

Very heavy fire on arrival which melted a flag on the back of L-146. Building was a roof water tank business that was around for many many years, tons of wood made for high heat and lots of smoke.

Interesting that Engine 216 was 3rd due on the box, Batt. 35 had the fire, and Ladder 108 in the same firehouse never went to the fire.

It is a portable deluge apparatus which can be supplied by one, two, or three handlines.  Used to produce high caliber streams of water.  Can be used attached to the top of an engine or at ground level.
