Straight tips vs. Fog nozzles

Straight tips vs. fog nozzles. Just putting this out for debate. My Dept does not have straight tips on any line. The few we have are locked away in compartments. Most lines are pre-connected with fog nozzles, I have a personal opinion. I believe we should split the nozzles half straight tip and half fog. I like straight tips for putting water on the fire and if the straight tip is used correctly it can keep both fire and water damage to a minimum.

Happy to hear that you don't suffer from that affliction.

I got the email, things are crazy here. If you could send the photo of the diff color lines with the job in the background that would be great! Also I am putting together all the photos for the powerpoint programs for fire Engineerings new book. We send photo requests out. You would have your name credited on the side and you would still own any photo you send in. Let me know I will put you on the list.
Thanks for getting back to me.
