boston mass - all pumpers are 1250 gpm with 560 gallon tanks

I was wrong - they do not have 750 gallon tanks apparently

a hydrant within 1 or 2 minutes before his tank runs dry

wow - they used to have 750 gallon tanks - see the 2011 ish model

each cal fire ranger unit has its own dispatch center / ecc - so that
