That is C2 in white - so this picture was taken afetr all of the first
alarm companys had arrived.

Arlington Mass - April 6, 2011

1817 - box transmitted (911 call probably received at 1816)

1819 - E3 at scene (the quint)

1820 - E2 to E3 - need a feeder?

1821 - C2 at scene

1822 - E2 is dropping a line

So it probably took 5 minutes to get a feeder from the hydrant to the
Quint. If the Quint only has 400 gallons of water, then maybe they ran
out of water before the hydrant line was connected in.

This is a trade off to be considered with Quints. If they have smaller
water tanks - then a Quint might run out of water 1 minute faster than
a pumper with 500 gallons - or 3 minutes faster than a pumper with a
750 gallon tank
