From Jeff Rudolph:
Some shots of the industrial fire suppression company “US Fire Pump” out of Louisiana. They arrived in Rockton early Tuesday morning, and brought with them several high volume pumps, portable deluge guns, deluge wagon, and miles of large diameter hose. Jeff Rudolph

Don’t know the whole process or pump sizes, but basically the drafted out of the River with the aid of one pump that fed into a secondary pump that supplied the pressure and that flowed into the deluge wagon and monitor carts placed around the site, large scale operation that ran very smoothly, would like to know the cost of that.

That’s cool how a couple of departments from out the state responded to this fire. I saw Janesville on the card.

Sorry, I meant to say sharp looking vehicles! That is the biggest supply line I have seen! I can’t imagine how many gallons of water are being used!

Where was the massive pump(s) taking suction from?

The big blue hose is being fed by the fire pump on the trailer.

Sharp looking information.
