SUPER PUMPER 1

[kidfrmqns]

It’s used for prolonged incident. It all depends how how far the water sources will be. Atleast 30-45mins to get into operation.

they tested a Bronco Skylift a few years ago, on the St. Patrick’s Cathedral. That was the main look at the Skylift due to the height of some of the churches but the shops said it was too much money to maintain and didn’t have a place to put it. L20 firehouse has the garage under firehouse so they couldn’t put it there. Wasn’t any other options at that time. Still a few firehouses that have issues with rigs now like Pitt Street.

I stopped working downtown in the early 2000's. Did anything ever move into the Delancey St side of the Pitt St firehouse? There was rumor years ago that ESU was going to move there.

It better preform well for how it looks lol

If it's never used, the only thing that matters is how it looks.

That’s a good point lol

That’s a good point lol

We all hope that it is never used because we do not want to see people killed, injured, or lose their property. I only hope that it is in service when & if needed.

They used the SATs hose and the 8inch hose thats on the Hydro Pumps to bring in water. The Super Pumper was not used at the scene just staged

Pardon my ignorance but what are the Hydro Pumps? TY.

Hydraulic powered pump you submerge in rivers/bodies of water for drafting

 

[jloonz]

So if those Hydro pumps are doing the pumping, and they can relay those to a satellite or two other engines, then what’s the point of the super pumper?
