functions of this video. First you will see as the pump operator gets out of the

other duties that need to get done. To make matters worse, he pulls the entire
load out of its place and drops the pile on the ground. The firefighters on the
line should be the ones advancing the lines. There also didn't appear to be a
very good estimation on the P.O.'s part on how long the line needed to be.
Otherwise, the FD did pretty good. Good use of the ladders to vent the 2nd

and add what you though of the fire. This is the Bound Brook fire from 2/08.
