Thanks it was fun putting the article together together. Now I am doing some research on the use of hydrants (new mission) Do you have any SOPs or the like that you can share in regards to hydrant use for your dept?. I am looking for techniques to take the hydrant, additional appliances used as well as policies like: How many hydrants do you take for a single family vs. commercial jobs.

Stay safe and happy holidays!
Bob

(hope thats ok). But i thought it was very ironic. Anyway we actually use that break away system where i work, and I think it works out pretty good. I think I'm making slow progress here at the volly house. Thanks again, and we should def. keep the ideas flowing.

Be Safe!
