00:11known as catching the plug.
00:14Stepping off the rolling truck, he sprints to the curb, loops a heavy five-inch supply
00:18line around the municipal hydrant, and locks the strap.
00:22As the engine drives down the street, it lays hundreds of feet of continuous hose flat on
00:27the asphalt, securing 30,000 gallons of pressurized water in under 20 seconds.
