Various techniques to deliver water for fireground operations, including hydrants and tank supplies.

Radio designation for a driver operator on E51 is Driver Engine 5-1.

Engines typically have a water capacity of 750 or 1000 gallons.

Used to notify of imminent danger, requiring personnel to evacuate to a safe place.

The driver operator must notify when onboard tank levels drop to 50% and 25% full.

The engine located at the water source providing supply.

The engine located at the scene attacking the fire.

Any apparatus placed between the source and attack engines.

Pressure loss due to resistance in hoses during water flow.

Calculated by adding friction loss and 20 psi for the engine being supplied.

Person in charge of managing water supply during operations.

Involves a tender relaying water to an attack engine.

Combination of nurse tender and relay pumping using a single supply line.

Process where vehicles deliver water back and forth to the scene.

A non-flowing water source, such as a pond or lake, used by fire engines.

Units use air horns to signal emergency conditions, alternating silence for 50 seconds.

A report performed by the Incident Commander to ensure all personnel are accounted for.

A standard for hydrant threading, also known as NHT.

Green hydrant symbol indicates that it is operational.

Red hydrant symbol signifies that it is non-operational.

Non-pressurized hydrants used for drafting water from static sources.

Raising water from a static source into a fire pump.

Continuous water supply method involving multiple apparatuses moving water.

Provides data on hydrant locations, pressure, and flow.

Records water used for various operations, submitted monthly.

Notifies water utility company about pressure needs during incidents.

Contractors must provide a 20,000-gallon tank during construction site inspections.

Hydrants in disrepair must be reported to the FOO and Water Officer.

A valve in dry hydrants preventing back-flush, marked as 'CV-No Back-Flush'.

A method where the attack engine is supplied by multiple units simultaneously through multiple lines.

Limits the water supply to attack engine to 500 gpm due to hose velocity.

Achieved by utilizing 2 engines, 2 brush trucks, and 1 tender during modified direct pumping.

Process where water is delivered to a portable tank on the scene instead of direct supply.

Includes one or more portable dump tanks located near the scene for quick access.

Reloads apparatus quickly so they can return to the fire scene with water.

Time-consuming, requires large area, and cannot supply aerials or master streams.

Shift to relay pumping as soon as it’s feasible during an extended incident.

Ideal fill site located at hydrants or static sources for quick water access.

Attack engine may draft from the dump tank but best to have supply engine established.

Tenders should be placed clear of other apparatus for efficient access and egress.

Used to draft water from a dump tank, effective up to 2 inches of water.

Tenders can dump their full tank in about 3-4 minutes during operations.

The source engine should flow a small discharge into the tank to maintain pump prime.

Responsible for monitoring conditions and directing tender dump placement during operations.

Site selected to maximize available water supply with minimal lift.

Process of clearing debris from pumps and equipment before service.

Use cones at fill sites to guide drivers on positioning.

Recommended minimum fill rate for a tender is 1000 GPM.

Apparatus designed to carry 3000 gallons of water for firefighting.

Circular route is optimal for water shuttle operations.

Float pumps are last resort options and have varied capacities.

First tender must dump water within 5 minutes for optimal ISO ratings.

Flowing 150gpm from a 750-gallon tank takes about 5 minutes to deplete.

Emergency evacuation is performed when water level drops to 25% full.

Driver operator must notify when tank is 50% and 25% full.

Tender apparatus typically carries 3,000 gallons of water.

Aerial apparatus has a water capacity of 500 gallons.

Brush trucks can hold either 500 or 750 gallons of water.

Do not supply more than 200gpm unless connected to a secure source.

When evacuation is announced, radio alert tones are sounded to notify all crews.

Supply lines should originate from the street to the fire for access.

Tenders can unload their water tank within 3-4 minutes.

They are time-consuming, require space, and cannot support aerials or master streams.

Calculated by adding friction loss and 20 psi for the engine being supplied.

If an attack engine is >500 ft from hydrant, a relay must be established.

Float pumps are last resort options and have varied capacities.

Details about hydrant location, pressure, and expected flow provided via software.

Water main size often not known unless established in a Quick Access Survey.

When hydrants are out of service, FOO and Water Officer are notified.

Dry hydrants are non-pressurized, used for water drafting from static sources.

Each battalion submits hydrant water usage to the Water Officer monthly.

Non-flowing sources like ponds, lakes, and pools that can support drafting.

Involves pumping water through hoses from one apparatus to another for continuous supply.

Contractors must provide tanks holding a minimum of 20,000 gallons near construction sites.

All personnel shall immediately evacuate and report to a designated location.
