A high-level explanation of the pump components and understanding of the pump performance capabilities. We will discuss friction loss and related fire ground calculations to help you, the pump operator, get water moving and understand what you’re doing. On the fire ground, every participant will have plenty of hands-on opportunity, both on the pump panel and hose management. This course can be tailored to the individual on the panel to develop comfort and confidence or challenge their current skill level.
Putting the “wet stuff on the red stuff” is not as basic as it sounds. Appropriate hose handling, hose advancement, water application and proper use of the nozzle creates a more cohesive firefighting crew, and provides better customer service. You will learn and understand the tactics to create structure fires more tenable for anyone inside including us!
