Engine 93-3 was responsible for the primary water supply, while Engine
93 stretched and Engine 98 had the secondary water supply. A wise
retired PA State Fire Academy instructor always said, "Do
your job unless, the job is impossible, not needed, or taken
over by someone else". We think these photos
give support to this statement. The doors of opportunity did in fact
open !!!
