… and, of course, sometimes you just have to come off with that Man’s Line and walk the dog. February 2002 photograph by Mia Aigotti, 1st and P St. NW.[/quote]



Man's line. Nice.



Thanks for the awesome explanation Kevin.



Its funny how that is something that is never taught, and actually frowned on. I have pretty much been told that the longest you EVER want to have a 1 1/2 attack line is 200, maybe 250 feet. The explanation was that the high pressures needed make the line almost impossible to work with. But, you guys prove its doable. As one of my favorite instructors says a lot: firefighting is hockey, not ballet.
