Wow, it looks like 4 LDH intakes on the officer side and 2 more on the driver side. It will probably need to be fed by at least 4 supply lines at hydrant pressure to approach 6000 GPM.

When it comes to specing fire apparatus, there’s no reason why you couldn’t have that gun. The only factors are cost and need.
