It is baffling how long it takes to get a decent stream of water on a fire in these major metro areas. These fire departments have BILLIONS of dollars of equipment, lots of trained personnel and they roll up to fires and it's like watching the three stooges most of the time. Mass confusion. Not sure I've seen one of these videos where it appears a highly oiled machine is working. For those in the know, go ahead and blast away. Educate me on the ins and outs of fire fighting.

DECK GUN !! Would have used it first. Stretching the lines down the street next to RVs is dangerous. Propane tanks there can cook off.

Deck guns are very underutilized and toucan knock downs fire fast😊

Next question, why do the just have one hand line in operation 😊
