For many many years DFDhas specked a Booster tank, pump and reel for their ladder trucks. It been a taticaly smart thing to do. Before 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hose was preconnected a lot of cities would use the Truck Company's Booster to either hold the fire or even put it out while the engine company was laying out. DFD and a lot of other cities found it worked for them on grass amd cars, especially when the Engine was not availible. Nashville,and Memphis di it for years.
Plus thats ladder truck.... 30gpm 300gal tank. I think all they have is a booster line. There its work with what you got, be happy with what you have.
@Nebo424 booster lines work very well in the big D.that way when the little fire is out you can go to the big fire quickly, and believe me Detroit goes from fire to fire all the time.

a red line is 1" and thats whats used for vehicle fires. the 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" are attack lines for structure fires and ladder companies usually dont carry attack lines because thats what the engine is for.
@fireman7003 Ohhhh boy, you got me on the spelling error. Makes you feel like a big man I bet. I have a feeling your not with the F.D.N.Y. For 1, your bashing a great Dept. That has more fire per capita than N.Y.C and its all Ghetto firefighting not High rise's. And what's with the name calling, So personal don't you think???
The hose is called a red line it is a smaller hose for smaller fires or for fast knock down of big fires, it is pre connected to the truck for kwik water

@ffan102 There's a difference between fighting mini abandoned row home fires and high-rise fires. Come to NY and I'll show you how we roll.
P.S.: It's you're not your... learn to spell, it might make me believe you more.

humpboomr19 2 years ago
LOL... 1 3/4" really? We carry a "RED LINE" ,1 1/2", and 2 1/2".... and we use what we have very efficiantly...

I'm not a fire fighter, but it doesn't seem logical to me to spray the fire from behind toward the apparatus. Am I wrong?
It looks like they're just using a garden hose too. haha
