Yeo, you definitely need a MARK 3 wildland pumo and inch n half lines. Equipped with the forestry quick change 1/4, 3/8, or 1/2" tips. It will buck that wind much better and still give you sod busting pressure. Typically we see it used here in the North east to bust through pine forest duff. And all the surrounding areas that have pump n roll engines are using it with a more traditional municipal style nozzle. But the screw on tip is extremely short. 60mph winds are no match when pump @75 psi. Easily managed recoil force.

Couple hours north of you, fires little different in the plains states, thought you did hell of a job, I try to teach my drivers and guys spraying to read each other, spraying back need to slow down spraying ahead speed up, just a way of nozzle controlling speed, might be a way of coaching your driver without causing problems, but small town departments, any warm body is welcome, good luck and good job

Its a freaking grass fire. Why throw someone off the truck running through a field like a maniac? What's the point of knocking down fire with one line when the second line cant get enough time to hit it a second time because the driver is riding a bucking bronco? Damn Id be pissed. Missing fire, letting almost contained fire get back crazy because going too fast to wet line after the front guy knocks it down..... ugg... Sorry, I just cannot see the sense in going that fast and risking someone's life safety for this field, and then having to go back over an area twice because it didn't get done well the first time ( If you had a second truck close buy and were trying to flank the head, I get that part at least)
