While working on a water suppy study in Connecticut, we came across a really interesting idea that we had to share with folks. Clinton FD's (Connecticut) Engine 3 has a water tank level indicator light assembly on all four sides of the pumper. We have seen such indicator light assemblies on the the sides and rear of units - but the Clinton rig is the first time that we have seen a pumper with a tank level indicator light assembly on the front - and it makes sense.

Many times, an engine company crew works "in front" of their unit -especially at vehicle fires on a controlled highway or at fire down a narrow road or driveway. Being able to quicky see your available water on the pumper can be quite helpful. A tip of the helmet to the Clinton folks - nice idea.
