photo taken seconds after picture 3145 was taken. It shows the crew had brought extra hose&pitch the ladder to the skip to control&extinguish the fire completely.
A lot of Fire Dept's keep a smaller-diameter pre-connected Attack Hose, on the Pumper, for this purpose. Frequently, piped and stowed in the ample front bumper.
Sometimes called "The Trash Line" - see picture 12265, for a front-bumper version in action.
