Any type of large scale, mutual aid water supply operation is going to need adaptors. So where do you keep your adaptors? We come across alot of different arrangements on alot of different pumpers and tankers. The "compartment door" concept was an interesting find during our seminar in Ottawa, Kansas. Wellsville FD Tender 3761, an 1,800-gallon/1,000 gpm tender is equipped to handle any number of hose and appliance adaptor needs.
Smaller adapters are kept on the compartment door - a different idea.
