Study Notes
Hose and Nozzles
- Hose management is crucial during fire operations, involving specific commands and techniques to ensure efficiency and safety.
- The nozzle team plays a vital role in deploying water effectively during a fire attack, with specific responsibilities assigned to each member.
Fire Attack
- The fire attack strategy includes advancing the hose line directly towards the seat of the fire while ensuring proper coordination among team members.
- "Hit and Move" technique involves cooling the fire or gases and then repositioning for a subsequent attack.
- Personnel designated as loaders assist with hose management but are not part of the nozzle team, which consists of the nozzle firefighter and a backup firefighter.
- Effective deployment of hose lines is essential for gaining quick access to the fire scene, employing a pre-stretch technique to manage the working line properly.
Glossary
- Advance: Moving a charged hose toward the fire source.
- Bump Up: Directing hose loaders to advance the hose at the next friction point.
- Deployment/Stretch: Laying out hose from the apparatus with adequate line for firefighting.
- Friction Point: Objects causing resistance during hose advancement.
- Hit and Move: Cooling targeted areas before relocating for further attack.
- Leader Line: A supply line that feeds smaller hose lines (2 ½ to 1 ¾ inches).
