The big hose nozzle ("master stream device") at the top of the ladder has a capacity of 1000 gallons per minute, and can be operated remotely through controls at the ladder operator console and/or at the pump control console. This aerial ladder is designed to attack a fire from above, if it has burned through the roof. The nozzles at the top can be supplied with foam by Engine 11, if needed.
