APARTMENT HOSELAYS
VOLUNTEERS CORNER
THERE ARE few fire departments today that would question the value of the preconnected 1 1/2or 1 3/4inch light attack line. Fortunately it is replacing the booster line in most instances, particularly in structural firefighting. In “Too Little, Too Late” (Volunteers Corner.
