This image shows the DC hoseload. The far left bed carries two 1 ½” attack lines. A removable wood divider separates the 150’ line on top from the 250’ line on the bottom. Both lines connected to a gated wye. In this photo, the 250’ line is missing. You can see how the 150’ is draped outside the grab rail to prevent snagging. The next two beds carry 600’ of supply line each. The far right bed has a 350’ 1 ½” line. There is a wagon pipe mounted ahead of the hosebed, and a single 300’ small line (3/4”) on the reel. All pumping apparatus was identical (minor differences between wagons and pumpers; accordion loads in 2 ½” beds and placement of double males and females).
