"141" boasts a Hale 1500 g.p.m. two-stage water pump for either volume or pressure pumping. It carries enough on-board water (1000 gallons) to provide ample continuous flow while being supplied by a relay of water tankers. It also carries 2000 ft. of 5-inch supply line, hard suction tubes for drafting from a water source, three 1¾ inch hose crosslays with Task Force Tip quick-detach automatic fog/straight-stream nozzels, and a 2½ inch hose line with a siamese for stretching two 1¾ inch hose lines behind a structure, and a second 2½ inch hose line with a Task Force Tip quick-detach automatic fog/straight-stream nozzel. In the rear, under the water tank, is an electric rewind 1 inch booster reel suitable for dousing small brush fires. Included in the array of equipment on "141" is an on-board electric generator to power scene lamps, a hand-held spotlight, or an electric ventilation fan.
