note - highway sign for fire station They needed a snowblower more than the $1 million quint or the $1m in pumpers - to blow snow on the exposed buildings This might be considered a 3 hose line fire. 7 guys - 2 guys on each hose and 1 guy on the pump. Flowing 250 GPM from each nozzle, 1 hydrant would have been plenty. They could knock down the fire. The building at this point is much too dangerous to enter - unless I am in there.
