Camden 9-1-1. We meet or exceed your fire suppression needs. Sir, I am sorry to hear the fire is now through the roof of your apartment building. Based on that assessment, would you prefer the Interior Attack Line Package for only $499.99 that includes a hydrant wrench or the External Heavy Stream Appliance Package for only $699.99 that includes two 2 ½ lines, the appliance, and the hydrant wrench. Yes. Instructions are included. We can complete delivery in the next 10 to 15 minutes unless you wish to pay the added $25.00 fee for accelerated delivery with lights and siren. Yes, we do offer payment plans, and your insurance company may pay part of the cost, although I should inform you that failure to complete the initial assessment in your first call could nullify your policy.
