You can only suck water 32’ up IIRC but the city could fill tankers all day long down at the harborI may have mentioned it in another thread. I’m not familiar with the shore access in the Palisades area, but the average Wildland Fire Engine has a maximum height from inlet to tank for Drafting operations and only carry’s about 20’ of suction hose. I would imagine that locations that an engine can get close enough to draft are few and far between in an area that has such extensive beaches. Even when drafting from a river, we had to get very close to the water to get our pump to work.
