For most of the fires we encounter, a 1 3/4-inch handline can flow enough water to hi the seat of the fire, but what about the larger fires?
The second leg in the fire stream triangle is that of sufficient flow. It is imperative that when the engine company makes its attack, it does so in such overwhelming fashion that the fire is extinguished rapidly. If an engine company chooses to make an attack, it must strive to do it right the first time and eliminate playing "catch-up" later.
