  Nice to see another dept. running with several lengths of LDH on their front bumper. At Oak Park we have a total of 175′ (100′, 50′ and 25′ lengths). It makes getting a hydrant off the front a snap. Although our hydrants are on average 300′ apart, I always thought it a great idea even for depts. that have greater hydrant spacing.
