Is that 3 over 3 used mostly for the Garden Apartments? I know the North East also has some houses that are set back from the street where this load might work well too.[/quote]
No, 3 over 3 is used to reach the middle of the row on some of the more narrow streets in the city. In almost all of South and North Philly the are hundreds of narrow side streets that are inaccessible to fire apparatus. The companies responding will pull up at the end of the block closest to the address of fire and stretch from there.
