"The chief orders a 2,000-gallon-per-minute (gpm) quint with a 2,000-gpm water delivery capability from the platform into service with the intention of deploying an elevated stream to attempt a knockdown as quickly as possible.

You don’t care about my wife and kids who are waiting at home for me to walk through the door. “Everyone Goes Home”? Have you heard of it?
