Kevin, I was wondering that the hydrant was that close to the intersection and where the job was, why didn't they put the Wagon on the hydrant, instead of dropped the supply line?

Don’t know, John. E-11 laid out from that hydrant; E-28 picked it up. It appears in the image the firefighter is picking up the soft sleeve, but there’s a reducer on the Humat Valve’s steamer and a 50’ piece of 3” going to 28’s intake. I’m guessing that’s still good for 1,000 gallons with a loss of 30 – 35 pounds. Plugs in Adams-Morgan are generally 60 pounds (Note to instructors: don’t correct my math – I am old and insecure).
Image shows E-11 in the 3200 block of Mt. Pleasant Rd NW (same fire as above), September 7, 2011.
