Description
For anyone who wants to gain extensive hands-on experience with advancement of the primary attack line during multiple scenarios in different types of buildings and situations.
This class will emphasize maintaining crew integrity, effective hose management and improving the overall effectiveness of a hose team. Essential equipment for the engine company hose crew, water supply issues/solutions, and master stream deployment techniques will be reviewed. Along with standard hose stretches, engine company operations in standpipe-equipped buildings will be practiced. You will learn to recognize and overcome pressure regulating device problems and utilization of fire pumps. The correct methods and equipment necessary to properly flow test and document the different types of nozzles used in your own fire department will be reviewed and practiced. Use of flow meters and actual hose layouts will provide valuable information on actual flows delivered during fire attack. You will learn critical fire behavior factors of back draft and flashover and ways to recognize and prevent these events, followed by live fire training in a flashover simulator. The final scenario will pull it all together when this class and the Advanced Truck Company class combine for rescue scenarios.
