My guess is those pumps could be placed in the river or body of water and pump to the super pumper who then relay pumps to satellites or tower ladders. Not all incidents will be right next to the water like this one was.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?
The super pumper was not used! They just needed water to supply an engine company on the other side of the building…. For the super pumper to get max pressure it needs 2 hydro pumps and one of the big marine units… The super pumper was called as in potential using it.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?
Is it just a deck gun and the amount of water volume that they can project?
I thought the satellites had a large deluge on them
The Super has a Large pump and huge gun, The satellites have no pump and big guns.Is it just a deck gun and the amount of water volume that they can project?

The Super Pumper is based off a industrial fire apparatus for oil refineries etc. Every manufacturer makes some type of variant. Typically they are 5000 gpm pumps and higher, and multiple monitors to deliver the water. The tanks are usually foam based, and more then 1 type. When I did a pre con with Sutphen, they had a monster custom tower ladder for an oil refinery. I think it was an 5000 gpm pump, 500 gallon foam tank, 1 or 2 other foam tanks, 6 monitors, 2 in the bucket 4 on the body. All remote controlled.Is it just a deck gun and the amount of water volume that they can project?

Super Pumper 1 (SP01) is in service.The Super Pumper is based off a industrial fire apparatus for oil refineries etc. Every manufacturer makes some type of variant.

Yes. also it is KenworthAre the hydro pump the pump that is on a kenilworth truck?
I posted this on page 18 last nightSuper Pumper 1 (SP01) is in service.
Primary Transport – E260, Back-Up Transport – E291
The Super Pumper will respond to:
Confirmed Pipeline leaks
10-86
10-87
Airport Crash Boxes
When special called by the Incident Commander
Makes it legit.I suppose Fire Replicas is happy that now it has seen service in some form.
Pardon my ignorance but what are the Hydro Pumps? TY.
this would be closer its a video from the manufacturerThis is not the exact FDNY model but Very similar. The video shows you how the system operates
