Engine 16 (’03 Pierce S-148) on the hydrant at 4th and Q St. NW, for an apartment afire in the 300 block of Q St., July 27, 2004. Rather than pull a handline from another wagon, the company ran their own 350' attack line down the block.[/quote]
If you have never had the pleasure of seeing these guys (DC) stretch the long line, you've been missing out. Most can stretch it as quick, if not quicker, than others can stretch a 200' line. No tangled spagetti either. And no, I'm not from DC.
