It will be inservice this year
San Francisco just got the Rosebauer version of the Super Pumper. Testing got it up to 6800 GPM. If I heard it correctly they said the city is planning of buying 30 of these bad boys. Now the real question is…
Does San Francisco get 30 of these in service first, or does Super Pumper 1 hit the streets first?

"The city of San Francisco submitted an initial order of three custom Rosenbauer hose tenders and a 3,000 GPM hydraulicly driven submersible pump."

The High Pressure water system in San Francisco did not grow with the city so a significant portion doesn’t have enough pressure for firefighting, hence the need for man high powered hose tenders. I suppose it’s cheaper for 30 multimillion dollar trucks as apposed to spending $19 million per block to upgrade the water system.
The FDNY Super Pumper 1 was purchased with Federal grants/ funds. So it’s no sweat to the city or FDNY when or how it goes in service.
1 of those trucks would be around 1 million dollar so way cheaper then 2 full blocks of upgrades
Ahhhhh that makes the delay make complete sense.
Well they had to find money to fix the floor at E260 too that’s another reason it’s taking so long
They could of placed it at 261/116 quarters.
Collapse is there
What about 262?
IMT Planning Vehicle is there...
SOC on Wards Island?
I know it has never been in service, Brad . . . but it's not really new anymore, is it?
True Ray..but if you leave it outside and it doesn't move a lot, might cause more issues
Exactly.
