If the gang in San Francisco can do this why can't Los Angles do this? Some of the L.A. area Conflagrations took place near the Ocean or other large bodies of water, use some inventive ideas when you need alot of water for major fires. Even in FDNY perhaps this is something we need to take a look at. Also note the San Francisco has I think 4 "Super Pumpers" either in service or soon to be in service. IF FDNY cannot use a few large capacity Pumping Unit= Super Pumper, units who can? I worked from time to time in the Old Mack FDNY Super Pumper system,
