info on new chicago pumpers - and new motors

https://chicagoareafire.com/blog/2023/10/new-engines-for-chicago-7/comment-page-1/#comment-774793

chicago engines are apparently set up for forward lays and reverse
lays - the 700 feet of 4 inch can be laid from hydrant to fire - and
the 700 feet of 2.5 inch lines can be laid from fire to hydrant

dont think they have much pressure in the hydrants so maybe they
always have to put a engine on a hydrant - iirc each and every street
corner has a hydrant on it
