Thursday evening, the duty crew dumped the hose bed on Engine 18 to reorganize. The dividers were adjusted and one added to allow for the addition of a 2 1/2" preconnected handline. During this time, Squad and Ladder 18 were staffed as the East Side Duty Crew. During that time, the crews handled a Motor Vehicle Crash on 295 in Minquadale and a Multi-Residential Fire in the district.
The new hosebed layout is 200' 1 3/4" with a 15/16" smoothbore, 200' 1 3/4" with a fog tip, 300' 1 3/4" with a 15/16" smoothbore, 500' of 2 1/2" static bed, 200' of 2 1/2" with a 1 3/16" smoothbore, and 1200' of 4" static bed.
