fog vs straight stream research - Firehouse Forums
2008年4月2日 · As an author of several books myself I like to think that I would at least research a particular topic, strategy or technique, even if I hadn't used this approach myself! It is clear that if these are his words, he has not received correct training in the techniques (if he has used them) and clearly misunderstands the basic concepts.
RPM Mode Vs. Pressure Mode on a Tanker - Firehouse
2007年10月26日 · Last year our dept. took delivery of a new pumper that has an rpm/pressure governor. Our problem is when we are in pressure mode and running off of the tank of the engine, when we open the hydrant and switch from tank to hydrant we get a spike in pressure of about 230lbs for about 3 or 4 seconds with the governor set at approx. 130 lbs.
RPM Mode Vs. Pressure Mode on a Tanker - Firehouse
2009年9月26日 · Clarifying pressure vs. RPM for Tankers. . ."Pump in "pressure" mode. That is the main point. With most set-ups, is the only way that your pump governor is going to work properly." I disagree but let me explain. If your tanker is supplying an engine also equipped with a governor, the engine should definatelt be pumping in "pressure."

smooth bore vs. fog nozzles - Firehouse Forums - Firefighting …
1999年11月7日 · Our engine house has quite a debate on the use of smooth bore vs. fog nozzles on our attack lines. All 3 shifts keep going back and forth on what nozzle to place on the engine for there shift. One shift puts on smooth bore for the day and another puts on fog.
Task force tips VS smooth bore - Firehouse Forums
2008年9月22日 · Fireground tactics usually suggest that if you commit a line to interior attack, you must provide a line of equal or larger size for back-up. Let us begin with a single attack crew and a back-up line say 2 - 1 3/4 lines. (one in and one out) the second engine supplies two additional crews so now we have progressed to - two lines in and two back ...

smooth bore vs. fognozzle - Firehouse Forums - Firefighting …
2000年3月5日 · Paul continually tries to explain that the application of water fog is NOT an indirect fire attack it is a safety strategy.

2&1/2" vs 3" hose - Firehouse Forums - Firefighting Discussion
2000年8月1日 · Lots of good points...no argument from me. I'll just interject this because there are some folks out there who tend to think in terms of friction loss vs flows: The friction loss in 2 1/2 lines is just a hair shy of triple the friction loss in 3" lines. Even for long attack lines, that would make a difference.
