I read a post somewhere in here a few weeks back in which someone made a couple of remarks on two subjects into which I would like some details:
1. It's possible to lay charged hose. For example, hook the hose to the hydrant, charge the hose, and drive off, NOT leaving a firefighter at the hydrant. This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen to me, but if it CAN be done, I'd like to know how.
2. It's possible to draft with fire hose. This would certainly be easier than using rigid hose, but it seems to me like the pump suction would merely suck the hose together.
Anybody want to step up to the plate on these?
