My photo of old school Wagon 17 with split load of 750 feet of 2-1/2" hose line.
This hose was loaded in a "horseshoe" method and could be laid out as duels or connected for 1,500 feet lay.
Left side had 2 - 150 foot lengths of 1-1/2" connected to a gated 2-1/2" X 2 - 1-1/2" leader wye.
The right side had 150 foot of 1-1/2" as "Hotel" rolls, aka high rise hoseline.
Helmets and coats are ready for easy donning, as the members rode the rear step of the 1948 Mack L series 750/200 wagon.
Note the safety belts for the rear step riders on the horizontal bar.
