superpumper will be based at Eng 260 - no mention of what the staffing is - the rig carries ?600? gallons of foam concentrate - the superpumper is intended to primarily be used at the airport tank farms and at fuel tanker crashes - it can also be used to augment water supplies at larger bld fires - can probably be used for exterior attack at highrise fires also - or even to fill the standpipes at a highrise - will go 10-86 calls (???) and special calls - in service as of June 1 2023 - the black 8 inch hose comes with the submersible pumps from Special Ops Command - superpumper 1 has 1,200 feet of yellow 6 inch hose - fdny does not have ldh on pumpers iirc - just 2.5 inch and 3 inch hose iirc - Foam Tender 1 is now out of service and Foam Engine 260 will move to E238
video shows setup of pumps and hose - and arrival of fire boat - and flow from big nozzle superpumper 1 has 8k gpm nozzle at front - and two 2,000 gpm nozzles at rear - plus 2 portable blitz guns in a compartment can the 2k gpm nozzles be taken off the truck and used down an alley or something? does fdny still have some 2,000 gpm pumpers? - they could probably do a half mile relay with the super pumper and two of the 2k gpm pumpers - if they have enough hose On Sat, Jun 3, 2023 at 3:11 PM zerg90 <[email protected]> wrote: > > https://youtu.be/ZNvAzDDgEHE > > 45 minute video - 12,000 gpm from super pumper + fireboat + 2 trailer > mounted pumps -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
