Our squad has a 300gpm pump with a 175 gallon tank. Biggest waste of money we ever spent. The pump and tank take up space that our cascade system should have been. The idea was to have a protection line while doing extrication. In 2008 when we were designing this truck the assistant chief at the time insisted on having a pump on it.
We keep two 1 1/2" lines, one on each side, and a 100ft 1 1/2" bumper line. We have used the pump less than 10 times ever and only once on a real call. Barely enough water to charge the line and put out a dumpster fire.
Again, biggest waste of space and money ever concieved. I'll have to get pictures of it up soon.
