Building a Combat Ready Engine Company

[@brentvalpatic3098]

Being a shot staffed Engine Company but when I was an Engineer I would stretch to a hydrant 200 feet away. Because our mutual aid is volunteer and our closest staffed Company is 15-20 minutes away.

The Siamese Clapper vale system we in Ohio call it a Rual Hitch. We love it here in Ohio and where I'm working at, we and neighboring departments and county's.

There’s no catch-all answer for whether you should or shouldn’t lay your own supply line. In a city with hydrants everywhere, the next engine on top of you within a couple minutes, an understanding that the second engine catches the hydrant and forward lays to the fire, and your engines are only staffed with three people, absolutely nothing wrong with using tank water and someone else catching the hydrant.
