D
(Taxpayers 7.1.2, 7.2.2F, 7.2.3A) (When heavy or medium fire conditions are encountered the initial lines should be 2-1/2 inch. When there is an interior stair to the cellar, especially if it is an open stair, and conditions permit, the first line must be stretched to this point to prevent the spread of fire and to permit operations on the first floor. When the line can advance down the cellar stairs it should do so. A second hoseline must be stretched to the top of the stairs to protect the members in the cellar and prevent the upward extension of the fire.)
