Surprising to see a TLP with suction hoses.

It would be quite tricky to position the appliance close enough to open water to use the suction - and still be in the right place to operate the ladder as a water tower effectively. Like waiting for the right fire in just the right place!

Or did the brigade expect to use it just as a regular pump from time to time? In 1940 there was a desperate shortage of TLs, but I always thought there were oodles of pump appliances in the NFS by then...
