The New York Fire Department seeks a super pumper that can blast water to the Empire State Building’s 74th floor or through brick walls. Commissioner Edward Thompson calls it the fire fighter’s prayer and estimates a cost of 875000. The pump truck and hose carrier are not yet built and it would draw water from rivers and nearby sources similar to a fireboat. Current equipment reaches about half the proposed distance.
