Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
By all appearances, this seems to be a pretty decent knockdown by a single engine company after arriving to a well involved single family dwelling. I am sure it helped that they are obviously carrying more than the standard 500 gallons of tank water and have a hydrant nearby.
Great job by the City of Devalan Fire Department (Wisconsin)

We pulled up on the scene within 5 minutes of dispatch. The house was already fully involved. We used our deck gun which we refer to as quick water while the crew pulled a 2″ handline. There was a firefighter from a nearby community who was in the area and he pulled 5″ to get permanent water. Had it all knocked down in 10 minutes and ready for overhaul.
