we mostly use 25mm & 38mm canvas perculating hose for our deliveries. It was my first time using the wyes. We had only recently purchased them and i had just finished reading the old water vs fire booklet i found on the wildfire today website.
Water Vs. Fire, Fighting Forest Fires With Water, 1950, by CDF & USFS (3.9 Mb)
the booklet is over 60yrs old, but bang on on the techniques used. I tried to impress the book to many of the other members, not sure how many read it. Its not something we do a lot here but i was glad to have read the booklet and able to put into practice at least one practice.
I recall the story you shared of the 3000' (i think) hoselay with the pumps and foldup tanks. More of these out of the box strategies should be taught here.
Our trucks, well dont go there....LOL
