A connector system for use with a fire engine that includes quick disconnect connectors for connecting a water supply such as a fire hydrant to an inlet on the fire engine. Quick disconnect connectors are attached to existing inlets on the fire engine or onto existing fitting on a fire hydrant or on both. The fittings include valves positioned such that a fire hose may be charged with water from the hydrant and connected or disconnected from the fire engine inlet without first draining the hose.
