What type of attack line is described as being a rear pre-connected attack line?

The rear pre-connected attack line typically refers to a 1 ¾ inch line. This size is commonly used by fire departments, including the Covington Fire Department, as it strikes a balance between maneuverability and sufficient water flow. The 1 ¾ inch line offers adequate pressure and volume of water needed to combat residential and small commercial fires and is often a preferred choice for firefighters during initial attack operations.

This line is designed to be lightweight, making it easier for firefighters to handle during high-stress situations, while still providing the necessary strength and durability. Additionally, pre-connecting the line to the apparatus means it is ready for immediate deployment, which can save critical seconds in firefighting operations, ensuring an efficient response to active fire scenes.
