Might be a good time to review the training issue here and be aware of this incident. The unit should be able to handle an odd water hammer, but you never know. There was only minimal information indicating the manifold had exploded somewhere in New Jersey (UPDATE: Information now indicates it was Lambertville). I was unable to find out any other details about the incident.
Found this safety bulletin from the Frederick County Fire & Rescue Services in Maryland. The April 3 bulletin indicates the manifold (or street hydrant) "exploded in New Jersey on Saturday (March 28) night during water tender filling at a multi-alarm fire". It reports that two firefighters were treated for minor injuries.
I still have been unable to find information elsewhere on the web about the incident.
