Why do soviet fire trucks connect a length of hard suction hose and a length of fire hose to their hydrants,i have seen this done by russian firefighters before and do not understand why,if you have a good pressurised supply from the water main then why would you have to do this as an ordinary line of supply hose would do.

Some Fire-Trucks have a pre-connected hose-line, often in the front bumper, called "The Trash Line"; it can be easily, and, quickly, deployed for these kind of nuisance fires.
Keep these photos coming, Snaker; they are good.
