Rob[/quote]Hi, Rob. Just affirming what Cosgrove said.
The idea behind the long 1 ½” line is speed in placing it in service. As practiced, the 350’ or 400’ line is a three-man evolution. In practice, as in this 1995 photo taken of Engine 10 on the fireground, one person can shoulder as much as he can, and grab, drag and flake the rest on the run. Apparatus is a 1991 Ford/ E\-One
