Diesel exhaust is harmful and can cause cancer, even at low levels.

Inspect and log all vehicle fluids, including engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and DEF.

Ensure proper air brake pressure, tire condition, and seat belt functionality.

Examine the booster tank and foam tank visually and compare levels to the gauges.

Verify pressure on the master discharge gauge, ensure proper pump operation, and test all valves and bleeders.

Inspect the drive belts for tightness and wear, and check batteries for leaks and secure connections.

Report any lost, found, stolen, or damaged equipment to the company officer immediately.

Ensure all lights, warning devices, and scene lighting are operational with the engine running.

Maintain sufficient space around the engine for deploying hoses, accessing tools, and safely lowering the ladder rack.

When backing an engine, a spotter on the engineer's side provides visual guidance for safe maneuvers.

JEA maintains a network of fire hydrants, wells, treatment plants, pumping stations, and water mains to supply city-wide water distribution.

Most populated areas are served by a grid design that allows hydrants to be supplied from multiple directions, ensuring stable pressure and high flow.

Dead-end mains can limit water flow, so fire personnel need to know their location within their territory.

Communities like Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Baldwin operate their own water systems, which may differ from the JEA system.

Water towers provide head pressure for hydrants in certain areas, acting as an alternative to the main system.

Static water sources with no pressure require fire pumps to draft water for use.

The rotating component within a pump that increases water pressure using centrifugal force.

A chamber in a pump that directs pressurized water from the impeller to the discharge manifold.

A pneumatic switch used to control the power flow between the engine and the pump.

The maximum volume of water a pump can deliver at a specific pressure.

A pump design that uses a single impeller to increase water pressure.

A pump design that uses two impellers to increase water pressure.

A setting where two impellers in a two-stage pump work together to increase pressure.

A setting where two impellers in a two-stage pump work together to increase volume.

Ensure the pump is primed before connecting to the hydrant by placing the engine in pump gear, opening the TANK-TO-PUMP valve, and operating the primer.

Clean all hand tools with soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Apply light oil to steel surfaces and moving parts, and linseed oil to wood handles as needed.

Clean ladders with soapy water, inspect for damage, and lubricate roof hooks sparingly

Clean nozzles with soapy water and a soft brush, then immerse in warm soapy water and operate all moving parts. Do not use lubricants!

Exercise hard suction hose couplings, apply warm soapy water to swivels if frozen, and clean dirt and debris from hose compartments.

Thoroughly inspect and clean chainsaws. Inspect air filter, remove and clean if needed. Clean chain drive, remove debris from hard to reach areas, reinstall chain, adjust tension, and check operation after reassembly.

Inspect air tools, clean with soapy water and dry thoroughly. Lubricate each blade with light oil, apply 5 drops of air tool oil into the blade end, and operate.

Charge batteries on all battery powered tools and thermal imaging camera as indicated. Ensure all bits and blades are accounted for. Operate each piece of equipment to ensure proper operation.

A type of foam used for Class A fires (ordinary combustibles like wood and paper). It acts as a wetting agent, reducing surface tension and aiding water penetration.

A type of foam designed specifically for extinguishing flammable liquids like gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel.

A specialized type of Class B foam that can effectively combat fires involving polar solvents like ethanol and methanol.

A foam concentration used for extinguishing fires involving aviation fuels, it's not compatible with AR-AFFF.

The amount of foam concentrate needed to convert a specific volume of water into finished foam.

Equipment designed to deliver foam effectively, including nozzles and proportioning devices.

A device used for delivering foam with adjustable flow rates, ranging from 1/4% to 6%.

A type of nozzle that creates a fine mist of foam, suitable for firefighting applications.

This valve directs a small amount of pump water to the booster tank, replacing hot water with cooler water from the supply. It's primarily used when hose lines are charged but not flowing.

This valve acts as a heat exchanger, routing cool pump water through the radiator to reduce coolant temperature. The pump water and coolant never mix.

A device that automatically adjusts pump discharge pressure to compensate for varying intake pressure, ensuring consistent pressure for handline crews.

The pressure sensor in the discharge manifold monitors the pump discharge pressure (PDP) and transmits the data to the control box.

The control box receives PDP signals from the pressure sensor and adjusts the pump's RPM to maintain the desired PDP, ensuring safe operation.

This valve works as a safety mechanism to prevent excessive pressure buildup in the pump's discharge line.

The engineer utilizes this device to set a desired pressure level for the pump.

This switch engages the pump and disables cab throttle controls (accelerator pedal and high idle switch), dedicating the pump's energy to water delivery.
