I sometimes need to wear an XL shirt, depending on the brand and often also the country of origin. But what is an XL water tender?

Ed: they had larger cab.

Thanks. I can’t help wondering why, as British pumps were only built for six occupants after WWII, and the standard cab could accommodate everyone already.

Ed: I think the XL was partly for extra equipment including BA.

Rob, the standard cab could have a crew of 6 and the XL a crew of 10
