Don't they also have a "trash" line as well on the front plus the normal supply line for the likes of garbage fires and such?

nope, FDNY doesn't use trash lines or pre-connects, so they're not in the mod.

I thought I saw something about a command to deploy the line on the bumper?

[erfd]

The truck they showed us has a fast-attack line on the bumper for car fires, etc.

its a 2,5" fast attack line... beside it, is a 5" intake supply line on the bumper but its of non use in the mod, just the fast attack line is usable

Your right, sorry, I never noticed that on the real rigs before.

hope everything is goin well TUT, keep up the good work

[RuralFirefighter]

I have a question about SCBA: When you're firefighter runs out of air in the cylinder, can you go to a truck to get it refilled or will they just replace the cylinder/pack?

[shadowzuziz]

i dont know how things work for new york ff's but in vancouver here the ff's dont bring extra bottles up to buildings they just come back down for a new one

[mclovin]

Chicago is the same way. It is a lot of extra weigh that they don't need to carry. Chicago has a separate unit that just carry's scuba tanks. I think all North America fire departments are this way.

[RuralFirefighter]

I did not mean that they literally bring another cylinder with them - I meant do they go to a special truck to refill the cylinder using a cascade system or do they just get a new pack.

[Steve Winters]

Hey FTW TUT, how's the mod coming along?

Yes for major working fires most fire departments have cascade trucks on-scene to refill the SCBA bottles. Normally the firefighter hands them the empty bottle and grabs a full spare off their engine/ladder/etc to use. I hope that answers your question

I was curious as to what apparatus would be doing that in this mod.

[shadowzuziz]

Yeah, our USAR trucks have a canteen attachment too (we call them the Welfare Units). They're only meant to be dispatched to long calls, since the firefighters will need energy to keep doing their job for the whole thing. They're also there to keep morale up (I think ours have TVs for this purpose too).

I suppose you could include micro-management at that level, but it might get a bit difficult to deal with, having to ensure that your firefighter's needs are satisfied when you have to handle so many on those calls.
