The hose has to be connected to a hydrant.Not necessarily....most fire pumpers will have an onboard water supply as well as being able to connect to a hydrant. The onboard tank is commonly 500 -1000 gallons.

I guess that depends on the configuration of the vehicle. All our engines had a 500 gallon tank on board.
