DROWNING OUT A FIRE WITH HIGH PRESSURE WATER
A 19th century description explains New York fire brigades using high pressure water streams to deliver up to 90,000 gallons per minute at 800 psi. Water towers and monitors enable direct attack into buildings, breaking walls and reaching hidden flames, a method that replaces traditional throwing. The note cites a past pattern in a fire-prone section of New York City as a reason for adopting this system.
