1500 gallons per minute.... easy. We should have maxed it out, I think it would have pumped more.

How much more do you think we could've gotten? It wasn't even breathing hard right there.

Last year I helped one shift with the pump testing while doing ride time. I remember it well because a hard suction coupling caught me right between the eyes, haha! Its ok, it didnt bleed for long. Good photo!

How much more? I don't know. I think the strainer and the single 6" suction would be the limiting factor. With dual hard suctions, I'd say it would pump 1750. That being said, if it were hooked to that hydrant at Drew and 6th with dual 5s, I bet it would pump 3000gpm.

Then again, what do I know?
