The amount of growth in Lakewood is unsustainable. The Chief does a great job. However, the multiple illegal apartments and rented rooms will ultimately lead to a disaster
I don’t understand the reasoning to not perform a forward lay. Whether you take the hydrant to the fire, or you take the fire to the hydrant, they both have distinct advantages based on circumstances. I definitely agree that the hose bed being longer allows for a lower angle of pulling hose. I never understood the Rosenbauer rigs that are so damn high off the ground making pulling hose and anything else a pain in the ass. Seagraves seems to strike the right balance of low height and structural durability.
So have you heard about F-500? Look into it. It's going to replace all foam systems. The 2 big take aways,it's non cancer causing. It attacks fire at the molecular level. It also cools at the same time it puts fire out. It conditions seals,noncaustic. I'm from Patagonia Vol.F.D. we did multiple training evoltions,the big 1 for me was the magnesium. It put it out in 12seconds,and we could immediately handle it after putting it out,from 5000f to cold out in12 sec. It's a surfactant. Just thought I'd Share. Be Safe out There!
