The following steps will allow the driver/operator to calculate friction loss in an equal length wyed line hose layout. Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Step 5: Compute the number of gpm (L/min) flowing in each wyed hoseline by using the equation: Q = flow rate (gpm or L/min) /100 Determine the friction loss in one of the wyed attack lines using Formula 7.1 Friction Loss. FL = CQ²L Compute the total number of gpm (L/min) flowing through the supply hoseline to the wye: QTotal = (flow in Attack Line 1) + (flow in Attack Line 2) /100 Determine the friction loss in the supply hoseline using Formula 7.1: Friction Loss adjusted for the total for Q. FL = (C)(Q total )²(L) Total Add the friction loss from the supply hoseline, one of the attack lines, ________ psi (70 kPa) for the wye (if total flow is above 350 gpm [1 400 L/min]), and elevation pressure (if applicable) to determine the total pressure loss.

The driver/operator should have an understanding of theoretical and maximum lift. Generally, you will be more concerned with the concept of dependable lift — the height a column of water may be lifted in sufficient quantity to provide a reliable fire flow. After factoring in the surrounding atmospheric pressure and friction loss in the intake hose, every fire pump that is operating properly should have a dependable lift of at least ________ feet (4.5 m).

While most of the principles discussed in this chapter apply to tractor-drawn apparatus, there are special considerations when stabilizing these types of trucks. The way in which the tractor-drawn apparatus is parked or positioned at the scene can provide additional stability to the apparatus. Parking the apparatus with an angle between the tractor and trailer sections increases the stability beyond what the stabilizers alone can provide. Maximum stability is achieved when the angle of the tractor is 60 degrees from the centerline of the trailer, and the aerial ladder is operated toward the outside of the angle. Angles less than 60 degrees provide less stability, as do angles increasing from ________ degrees. The driver/operator should never position the vehicle with the tractor and trailer at an angle greater than 90 degrees as poor stability is produced and damage to the truck may occur. Many tractor-drawn vehicles are equipped with an {alarm} that sounds if an attempt is made to create an angle greater than 90 degrees.

The following guidelines should be observed when conducting the inspections described in the skill sheet: • Since the tiller axle is a steering axle, steering wheel free play must not exceed 2" on a 20" wheel (50 mm on a 500 mm wheel) or 10 degrees on any other sized steering wheel. Because of the location of the tiller cab in relation to the tiller axle, most steering systems have multiple steering linkage assemblies requiring inspection. • Most tiller steering systems can be locked in the straight ahead position by the use of a device such as a lever or pin. This is used so that a single driver in the front cab is transporting the apparatus for maintenance, training or other nonemergency purpose. The tiller operator should inspect the lock system to ensure that it is not engaged before leaving the station. • Unlike tractor suspension systems, most tiller systems have air bag suspensions that require additional attention during inspections. • All tractor drawn aerials have permanently mounted coupling systems attaching the "________" to the "{tractor}" power unit. Since it is the {articulation} point for the apparatus, {insufficient lubrication} will result in the {coupling system binding creating difficulty in steering control} (Figure 16.55)

Stihl 044 Chain Saw WARNING! The ________ is an integral part of the {chain braking system}. It must not be modified in any way, otherwise it will be {deactivated}. The great advantage of the {inertia chain brake} is that the brake is activated after {severe kickback} even if the {operator's left hand is not behind the front hand guard}. When the hand guard is moved towards the {nose of the guide bar}, both {manually or by inertia}, the {brake lever} is unlatched and the brake band is clamped round the clutch drum at the same instant. This causes the saw chain to be brought to a standstill and locked in position. Apart from {starting and emergencies}, the chain brake may be engaged {only when the saw is idling}. To release the brake, pull the {hand guard back toward the handlebar}

The operation of a centrifugal pump is based on the principle that a rapidly revolving disk tends to throw water introduced at its center toward the outer edges of the disk (Figure 9.4). The ________ acts as the disk receiving its water through the {eye in its center}. This water is thrown out to the {volute} around the {outside edge of the pump housing}. The {speed of the impeller} dictates the amount of pressure that is developed. The faster the disk is turned, the harder the water is thrown, giving the water more {velocity}. If the water is contained at the edge of the disk, the water at the center of the container begins to move outward, toward the {path of least resistance}. The velocity of the water is converted to pressure by confining the water within the container. The height to which the water rises, or the extent to which it overcomes the force of gravity, is based on the {speed of the impeller's rotation}.

impeller

Stress in aerial devices is ________ when the {ladder rungs are operated nonparallel} to the ground or when the apparatus is {parked on an incline and the aerial device must operate off the side of the apparatus}. These positions and others like them create {torsion}, or a {twisting action on the ladder or boom and the turntable} (Figure 17.16). When an apparatus must operate off an incline, the driver/ operator can reduce these stresses by spotting the turntable {downhill} from the point of operation.

The most common actuators for ball-type valves are either push-pull handles or (T-handles) or quarter-turn handles. The push-pull valve handles on some pumps use a sliding gear tooth rack that engages a sector gear connected to the valve stem. This arrangement provides a mechanical advantage that makes the valve easier to operate under pressure as well as the setting of precise values of pressure when adjusting individual lines. The operating linkage may be adjusted so that the valves may be mounted remotely from the pump panel. The push-pull lever usually has a flat handle that can be used to lock the valve in any position by a 90-degree twist of the handle. The push-pull handle must be pulled straight out with the sides kept ________. If this is not done, the shaft may {bind}, making the valve {difficult to move or inoperable}.

An open fire hose (open butt) produces a stream that normally has no use in fire fighting. Some type of nozzle is needed to shape the stream. When a closed nozzle with a 1-inch (25 mm) tip is added to the system, the water level in the glass tubes returns to Line A. When the nozzle is opened, the water level drops to Line C (Figure 5.14). If the 1-inch (25 mm) tip is replaced with a 3⁄4-inch (19 mm) tip, the water level in the glass tubes rises even higher. The velocity of the water exiting the nozzle increases, but the amount of flow ________. By decreasing the amount of water flowing, a firefighter reduces the speed of the water in the hose; consequently, there is less friction loss.

decreases

Attack pumpers equipped with an adjustable intake relief valve should be set between 50 and 75 psi (350 and 525 kPa) to establish a stable operating condition. If an attack line is shut down, or the amount of discharge changes, the friction loss in the supply line ________ and the residual pressure {increases}. The intake relief valve will operate, allowing water to dump from the intake. When this occurs, the flow through the supply line and the pressures in the relay return to their original settings. Increases in demand by the attack pumper will cause reduced residual pressure, and the valve will close. Water will cease dumping, and again the pressure will stabilize at the original setting. Pumps equipped with automatic pressure governors will automatically make this compensation with an internal relief valve operating in the {pressure mode}.

decreases

Automatic regeneration occurs when the engine load, exhaust temperature, and engine speed are within an acceptable range. When the conditions are met, the engine will begin ________ into the exhaust stream to {raise the exhaust temperature and burn off the soot}.

A circular route is the optimum arrangement for a water shuttle circuit (Figure 13.17). When a circular pattern is used, the full tenders leaving the fill site follow one route toward the dump site. The empty tenders leave the dump site and return to be refilled using a different route. This strategy eliminates the need for large tenders passing each other on narrow, rural roads and limited weight bridges. This arrangement is often employed by necessity during incidents on limited access highways. When using a circular travel route, consider the direction of travel if there is a substantial grade on a portion of the route. Fully loaded tenders should travel ________ and empty tenders should make the return trip traveling {uphill}. Although not always possible, it is advantageous to have {roadways closed to nonemergency vehicles} during water shuttle operations to lessen {traffic congestion and reduce the possibility of collision}.

down grade

When protection of life requires de-energizing a building, cutting service wires should be considered only when it is not practicable to remove fuses, open circuit breakers, open the main switch, or wait for an electric company representative. Specialized equipment must be used to cut each wire individually and then bend each one back, to prevent short-circuiting the wires together. All wires must be cut. Never assume that one wire is a ________ and is therefore safe. Even a "{ground}" wire can be contacting an energized wire at some {unseen location}. If the service wires can be cut on the supply side of where they connect to the building's wires, it will be possible to {restore the service more quickly when required}. However, far more important, service wires should always be cut on the {building side of where they are first attached to the building} - this avoids having {wires fall on the ground}

In the fire service, ________ refers to the {height of a water supply above the discharge orifice} (Figure 5.11). In this example, the water supply is 100 feet (30 m) above the hydrant discharge opening. This is referred to as 100 feet (30 m) of {head}. To convert head in feet to head pressure, you must {divide the number of feet by 2.304} (the number of feet that 1 psi will raise a one square inch column of water). The result is head pressure in psi. In metrics, divide the number of meters by 0.1 to get head pressure in kPa. The water source has a head pressure of 43.4 psi (300 kPa).

These methods require proactive fire department approach as well as approval from a local or state agency with regulatory authority over the water source. In cases where there are no provisions for quick access through the ice, it may be necessary to cut a hole for the intake hose and strainer. Most fire departments use a chain saw, power auger, axe, or a combination of tools to breach the ice. Firefighters operating on the ice should use extreme caution to be sure that the strength of the ice will not be unduly compromised by their weight and cutting activities (Figure 11.6). Firefighters may also deploy a ground ladder across the ice to help distribute their weight. Provisions for making an ________ should be available at the scene before any firefighters begin work on the ice.

Beware of "Telephone" Cables Telephone cables are rarely dangerous when accidentally contacted. But, are you so sure you can tell the difference between telephone cables and electric power cables, that you'd stake your life on it - and the lives of others? Although higher voltage facilities are generally installed higher up on utility poles, this is not always true, electric power cables operating at 34,000 volts maybe attached below telephone cables on the same pole. And a fallen telephone cable may be contacting a powerline! NEVER REST LADDERS ON WIRES OR ON ANY OTHER ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT! NEVER DRAG HOSES OVER WIRES! NEVER COME TOO CLOSE TO WIRES - BRUSHING AGAINST ONE CAN BE FATAL! NO ENCORES, PLEASE You may have some experience where you were able to contact energized facilities without incident. But, just because you "got away with it" before doesn't guarantee you will get away with it again. Remember, higher voltage facilities have much greater "________" behind the electricity. Something you "got away with" on {120}-volt facilities can bring disaster if attempted on {34,000}-volt facilities. And since {normal water} is a {conductor} of electricity, even {slightly damp objects} become much more hazardous

pressure

The notation for an actual atmospheric pressure reading is ________, which is {pounds per square inch absolute} (the {psi above a perfect vacuum is absolute zero}). For the purposes of this text, psi means {psig (pounds per square inch gauge}). A gauge reading {10} psi (70 kPa) at sea level means that it is actually 10 psig plus the atmospheric pressure of {14.7} psi. This pressure is not normally accounted for, as the gauge is calibrated to {zero} at ambient pressure. Therefore, 10 psig is 24.7 psia at sea level. The pressure actually is 24.7 psi (170 kPa) plus 10 psi (70 kPa). Any pressure less than atmospheric pressure is called {vacuum}, and {absolute zero} pressure is called a {perfect vacuum}. For example, when a gauge reads 10 inches of Hg (35 kPa) of vacuum on the compound gauge, it actually indicates {less than} atmospheric pressure.

Positioning the aerial apparatus to attack fires or protect exposures in processing facilities or refineries can be an extremely challenging task. The nature of the fuels involved with these fires requires ________ positioning. These facilities present a number of challenges to positioning aerial apparatus. Some of the challenges include the following: • {Narrow driveways} — It may be {extremely difficult and time consuming} to maneuver the apparatus into the most desirable position. • {Dead-end accesses} — Because incidents of this nature have the potential to quickly become more severe, never place the apparatus in a position where a {difficult reverse retreat} would be required. Take the time to {back the apparatus} into position if this is the case. {Over head obstructions}—Refineries and chemical processing facilities are typically a {maze of overhead piping and conduits} (Figure 17.29). Be certain that the {final spot} chosen for the aerial apparatus will allow the aerial device to be deployed effectively without coming into contact with any {overhead obstructions}.

The operation of a centrifugal pump is based on the principle that a rapidly revolving disk tends to throw water introduced at its center toward the outer edges of the disk (Figure 9.4). The impeller acts as the disk receiving its water through the eye in its center. This water is thrown out to the volute around the outside edge of the pump housing. The speed of the impeller dictates the amount of pressure that is developed. The faster the disk is turned, the harder the water is thrown, giving the water more ________. If the water is contained at the edge of the disk, the water at the center of the container begins to move outward, toward the {path of least resistance}. The velocity of the water is converted to pressure by confining the water within the container. The height to which the water rises, or the extent to which it overcomes the force of gravity, is based on the {speed of the impeller's rotation}.

A third alternative is the over-the-shoulder carry. This carry is the most difficult and most risky since the firefighter will only have one hand available for stability while descending the ladder, and he or she will be bearing the entire weight of the victim. Rescuers should only perform this carry with a "safety" firefighter descending just below the firefighter carrying the victim. In order to perform this carry safely, a firefighter inside the fire building should assist with loading the victim onto the shoulder of the firefighter. Steps for this method are as follows: 1. In order to provide the best possible balance, position the victim face down across the firefighter's shoulder. The victim's ________ should be on the firefighter's {shoulder}, and the victim's {knees} should be in the {middle of the firefighter's chest} in order to obtain a {well-balanced carry} (Figure 20.23). 2. When the rescue firefighter is satisfied that the victim is balanced and secure, he or she should back down the ladder at a {safe pace}. The assisting firefighter below the rescue firefighter should remain in {physical contact} with the carrying firefighter as the descent is performed.

The ability to overcome losses in pressure is limited to atmospheric pressure at sea level (14.7 psi [100 kPa] or 30 inches Hg). The inches of mercury measurement is used in drafting since the changes of pressure are so minute. This pressure decreases approximately 0.5 psi (3.5 kPa) or 1 inch of ________ for each 1,000 feet (300 m) of altitude gain. In a city located 5,000 feet (1 500 m) above sea level, the atmospheric pressure is 12.2 psi (85 kPa). Because the same atmospheric pressure of 14.7 (100 kPa) psi must overcome elevation pressure as well as any friction loss, increasing the height of the lift will {decrease total pump capacity}. A lift increased from {10 to 16} feet (3 m to 5 m) would require the vacuum to increase from {9 to 14} inches of mercury (Hg) (-30 to -50 kPa), which leaves 5 inches (-20 kPa) less to overcome any friction loss encountered. Considering the same 750 gpm (3 000 L/min) pumper used in the previous example, increasing lift to 16 feet (5 m) with 41⁄2-inch (115 mm) intake hose would reduce the capacity of the pump to 585 gpm (2 350 L/min).

The International Fire Service Training Association (IFSTA) was established in 1934 as a nonprofit educational association of fire fighting personnel who are dedicated to upgrading fire fighting techniques and safety through training. To carry out the mission of IFSTA, Fire Protection Publications was established as an entity of Oklahoma State University. Fire Protection Publications' primary function is to publish and distribute training materials as proposed, developed, and validated by IFSTA. As a secondary function, Fire Protection Publications researches, acquires, produces, and markets high-quality learning and teaching aids consistent with IFSTA's mission. IFSTA holds two meetings each year: the Winter Meeting in ________ and the Annual Validation Conference in {July}. During these meetings, committees of technical experts review draft materials and ensure that the professional qualifications of the National Fire Protection Association® standards are met. These conferences bring together individuals from several related and allied fields, such as: {Key fire department executives, training officers, and personnel Educators from colleges and universities Representatives from governmental agencies Delegates of firefighter associations and industrial organizations Committee members are not paid nor are they reimbursed for their expenses by IFSTA or Fire Protection Publications}. They participate because of a commitment to the fire service and its future through training. Being on a committee is prestigious in the fire service community, and committee members are acknowledged leaders in their fields. This unique feature provides a close relationship between IFSTA and the fire service community. IFSTA manuals have been adopted as the official teaching texts of many states and provinces of North America as well as numerous U.S. and Canadian government agencies. Besides the NFPA® requirements, {IFSTA} manuals are also written to meet the {Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education} (FESHE) course requirements. A number of the manuals have been translated into other languages to provide training for fire and emergency service personnel in Canada, Mexico, and outside of North America.

Honesty and integrity are the two most important characteristics of a successful leader. ________ is the foundation of leadership. When we violate another's trust we are finished. Respect that has taken years to develop may evaporate overnight if an individual breaks the trust of others. Good leaders {speak the truth and live it}. {Integrity} is the capacity to walk the talk, to deal with issues straight on, and to do what the mission statement directs us to do. True leaders lead by example. True leaders realize that they should be {servants}. They focus on what they can do for the organization and every person they come in contact with. People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care. Leaders find ways for the team to win. Leaders need to show {humility}. The most popular and successful leaders are the ones {that do not feel the need to brag about their position}. An individual's rank entitles that person to a certain measure of respect. True leaders understand that the majority of respect must be {earned and is thus deserved}.

The in-line eductor uses the ________ principle to draft foam concentrate into the water stream. When operating this system, several operating guidelines must be followed to achieve properly proportioned finished foam: • The {flow in gallons per minute (L/min)} through the eductor must {NOT Exceed} its rated capacity. • The quality of foam may {decrease or the flow may stop altogether} if the gpm (L/min) capacity of the eductor is exceeded. • The pressure at the discharge side of the eductor must NOT Exceed {70} percent of the eductor inlet pressure. This {back pressure} is determined by adding the {nozzle pressure, friction loss in the hose between the eductor and the nozzle, and the elevation pressure}. {Excessive back pressure} may result in no foam concentrate being inducted into the water. • The concentration of foam solution will only blend accurately if the inlet pressure at the eductor is correct (usually {150-200} psi [1 050-1 400 kPa]). • Inlet pressure that is {too low} will not create the Venturi effect necessary to pick up foam concentrate or may pick up too lean a mixture for suppression. • When inlet pressure is {too high}, the foam concentration may be too rich, {rapidly depleting} available resources. •Eductors must be properly maintained after each use in order to ensure readiness for the next incident. Use a {bucket of water} to immerse the foam pick up tube, letting it induct water for at least {one} minute (Figure 14.19). • {Metering valves} must be set to draw the correct percentage needed to develop the correct quality of foam for the fuel product. An incorrect setting may result in production of a {poor quality foam blanket}. • The foam concentrate inlet to the eductor should be no more than {six feet (2 m) above the liquid surface of the foam concentrate} (Figure 14.20, p. 496). If the inlet is too high, the foam concentration will either be {too lean or may not be inducted at all}. • {Viscosity}, or the thickness and ability of a liquid to flow freely, is affected by {temperature}.

Guidelines for initial Mantoux skin test: The initial Mantoux test will be administered with five units of tuberculin PPD injected just under the skin of the forearm. The employee returns one week later to have the test read. At the second visit, those employees with reactions 10 mm or greater are considered positive, and are to have follow up according to current guidelines. Those who have doubtful or negative reactions at the second visit will, at that time, have their skin test repeated. The results of the second skin test are read 48-72 hours later, and are recorded as the employee's "baseline reactivity" at the time of employment. Employees with a history of a positive skin test will not be re-tested; however, they will be required to complete a medical questionnaire. Those employees who have received a skin test within the previous year will only require an initial test and reading 48 to 72 hours later and will not require the ________.

The driver/operator must be able to roughly determine the wind speeds at the location of aerial device operation. The most reliable methods of obtaining this information involve the use of calibrated wind-measuring equipment. Some fire departments have this equipment mounted on their apparatus. Other departments rely on having this information relayed from the dispatch center. Another easy way to determine wind conditions is to refer to Internet resources that keep up-to-date information on local weather. The winds can be checked several times a day while in the fire station, especially if an unusually windy day is apparent. If none of these options are available, the driver/ operator can refer to Table 19.1 for other strategies to estimate wind speeds. Operators should take advantage of ________ to train and learn the reach of the {fire stream vs wind}.

The air temperature when the testing is conducted should be between ________° F (18° C) and {110}° F (43° C). The water temperature should be between {35}° F (2° C) and {90}° F (32° C). The barometric pressure should be at least {29} inches of Mercury (Hg) (100 kPa) when corrected to sea level. This adjustment is necessary because a {1}-inch (3.5 kPa) drop in barometric pressure reduces the static lift of a pumper by approximately {1} foot (300 mm).

CAFS apparatus use a standard centrifugal pump with an automatic discharge side proportioning system. Due to the low eduction rates, a variable flow rate sensing proportioner is required to supply the fire stream at the rate of ________ percent. Generally, {2} cubic feet per minute (0.06 m3/min) of airflow per gallon per minute (4 L/min) of foam solution produces a {dry foam of up to 100 gpm} (400 L/min) of foam solution. This creates a substantial amount of foam at a {10:1} expansion ratio. Most structural and wildland suppression operations conducted with CAFS use an airflow rate of {0.5 to 1.0} ft3/min (0.01 to 0.03 m3/ min) of foam solution. This rate allows adequate drainage of solution from the blanket to wet the fuel and prevent re-ignition as well as controlling any smoldering from beneath the foam blanket.

Metric Conversions All metrics in IFSTA publications follow a document titled "Training Guidelines for the Metric Conversion of Fire Departments in Canada." The NFPA® does not follow these guidelines. This may result in some differences in what a particular size hose is called in metric terms. Throughout this manual, U.S. units of measure are converted to metric units for the convenience of our international readers. Be advised that we use the Canadian metric system. It is very similar to the Standard International system, but may have some variation. We adhere to the following guidelines for metric conversions in this manual: Metric conversions are approximated unless the number is used in mathematical equations. Centimeters are not used because they are not part of the Canadian metric standard. Exact conversions are used when an exact number is necessary such as in construction measurements or hydraulic calculations. Set values such as hose diameter, ladder length, and nozzle size use their Canadian counterpart naming conventions and are not mathematically calculated. For example, ________ hose is referred to as {38} mm hose. The following two tables provide detailed information on IFSTA's conversion conventions. The first table includes examples of our conversion factors for a number of measurements used in the fire service. The second shows examples of exact conversions beside the approximated measurements you will see in this manual

Piercing nozzles, also called penetrating nozzles, are commonly used in aircraft fire fighting, car fires, or to apply water to voids, attics, or other areas inaccessible to standard fire streams (Figure 6.10). The piercing nozzle is generally designed as 3 to 6 foot (1 to 2 m) hollow steel rod ________ inches (38 mm) in diameter. The tip of the device is a {hardened steel point} capable of being driven through a variety of material including {concrete block and other building materials}. An {impinging jet nozzle} capable of flowing approximately {125} gpm (500 L/ min) at {100} psi (700 kPa) is part of the hardened tip. At the opposite end of the nozzle a {striking surface} allows the device to be driven with a {sledgehammer or maul axe} through various obstructions.

If a fire department pumper were capable of creating a total vacuum, water could be raised by atmospheric pressure to a height in accordance with that pressure. This theoretical lift would decrease as altitude above sea level increases. For every ________ feet (300 m) of altitude, the atmospheric pressure decreases by approximately {0.5} psi (3.5 kPa). Because a total vacuum is not attainable using a fire department pumper, the maximum lift at a given altitude will be {less than the theoretical lift}.

RESPONSE TO HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INCIDENTS The dispatching of apparatus to a hazardous material incident will follow these guidelines: An engine company and a District Officer shall be dispatched on incidents that involve a release of less than ________ gallons of a {liquid} or less than {20} pounds of a {solid} of a {known} hazardous material. A District Officer will not be required on incidents involving less than {10} gallons of {motor fuel} Some examples include, but are not limited to: • {Small fuel spills} from traffic accidents • {Odor investigation} in a building or vicinity • {Small fuel spills} outside with no fire involved o {Leaking domestic natural gas line} in a house o {LPG leaking} from a small container: such as a {passenger car fuel tank, portable tanks}, etc o Broken containers of "{consumer commodities}" in stores, such as {grocery, hardware, or department stores} The Hazmat Unit will not normally be dispatched on this type of incident, but may be {contacted, called or requested} to respond if needed by the {Incident Commander} for assistance or information

Respiratory Protection The Oklahoma City Fire Department will provide fit testing and training for use of approved masks as needed. Masks are available to all personnel. Gloves, eye protection, and a TB mask (air purifying respirator) Respirator fit testing will be provided any time there is a ________% weight gain or loss, {injury or facial scarring}, change in {denture} structure, or anytime the employee {fails the fit check}. All students will complete the {TB Mask Fit Update form} (which is a part of the {Level-2 OSHA Exam on Target Solutions}) or they will be {fit tested}.

The gpm flowing method is applicable to both solid and fog streams and is calculated using flow in gallons per minute. It may be used for various diameter hose, although it is not applicable to the metric system of measurement. The driver/operator may consult Table 8.2 noting that the gpm flowing method is not applicable to 2 1⁄2 inch hoselines flowing less than 160 gpm. Factoring the flow in gallons per minute from the nozzle at a given pressure, you must then subtract ________ from the {first two numbers of the gpm flow}. A sufficiently accurate estimation of friction loss per {100 feet of 2 1⁄2-inch} hose is obtained. A further review of Table 8.2 reveals that friction loss in 2 1⁄2-inch hose increases {1} psi for every {10} gpm increase in flow.

The notation for an actual atmospheric pressure reading is psia, which is pounds per square inch absolute (the psi above a perfect vacuum is absolute zero). For the purposes of this text, psi means psig (pounds per square inch gauge). A gauge reading ________ psi (70 kPa) at sea level means that it is actually 10 psig plus the atmospheric pressure of {14.7} psi. This pressure is not normally accounted for, as the gauge is calibrated to {zero} at ambient pressure. Therefore, 10 psig is 24.7 psia at sea level. The pressure actually is 24.7 psi (170 kPa) plus 10 psi (70 kPa). Any pressure less than atmospheric pressure is called {vacuum}, and {absolute zero} pressure is called a {perfect vacuum}. For example, when a gauge reads 10 inches of Hg (35 kPa) of vacuum on the compound gauge, it actually indicates {less than} atmospheric pressure.

Around-the-pump Tank proportioners are one of the most common types of installed proportioners used in modern fire apparatus. This system consists of a small return (bypass) water line connected from the discharge side of the pump back to the intake side of the pump (Figure 14.23). An inline eductor is installed in this line with a valve controlling the flow of water passing through it. In the open position the valve allows approximately ________ gpm (40 to 160 L/min) to flow through the piping. This flow passes through the eductor, creating a Venturi effect that draws foam from the {onboard concentrate tank}. The foam solution that is created is pumped through the bypass piping to the intake side of the fire pump where it is pumped to a discharge and into a hoseline. Around-the-pump proportioners should generally be used at the specific flow for which they are rated.

It is advisable to confirm the presence of actual fire conditions before a pumper begins to flow water to the FDC. It is possible that a sprinkler system has malfunctioned or been tampered with, causing the activation of a sprinkler head. If the sprinkler system is to be supplied at the FDC, the driver/operator should slowly develop the amount of pressure required to supply the system, after the need to supply the system has been confirmed. Multistage pumps should be operated in parallel (volume) position. Depending on the policies of a jurisdiction, the suggested discharge pressure may be printed on a plate at the FDC, or contained in pre-incident planning information. If no specific information is available, the general guideline is to discharge ________ psi (1 050 kPa) into the FDC (Figure 10.25).

150

It is well documented that typical fire department centrifugal pumps operate at their highest GPM flow at 150 psi net discharge pressure. Any pressure above 150 psi results in a decrease of total GPM flow from the pump. As a rule of thumb, a pumper should be added into the operation for every ________ psi

Connect Hydra-Assist Valve to the hydrant, attach 4" supply line to the Hydra-Assist and lay into the FDC b. A minimum of two 2 1/2" discharge lines (3" lines are preferred if available) shall be used to make the connection from the discharges of the pumper to the FDC According to NFPA 1962, the maximum operating pressure for large diameter hose with Stortz couplings is ________ psi and should not be used to supply {high-rise FDCs} c. The pumper shall be spotted with the pump panel {away from the fire building} to protect the engineer from {falling debris} d. The discharge lines supplying the FDC shall be connected to the {discharges opposite from the fire pump panel}, allowing the pump operator to stay clear of the lines in the event of {hose failure} e. Try to spot the pumper at the {corner of the fire building}, if possible, to keep out of the way of {falling glass and debris}.

NFPA® 1901 groups aerial devices into three basic categories: {aerial ladders, elevating platforms, and water towers}. {IFSTA} further classifies aerial fire devices as follows (Figures 16.2): • {Aerial ladder apparatus • Elevating platform apparatus — Aerial ladder platforms — Telescoping aerial platforms — Articulating aerial platforms • Water towers} These three categories group the devices based on {how they are used and their tactical advantages and disadvantages}.

1901

As required by NFPA® ________, all manufacturers of aerial devices provide an {auxiliary hydraulic pump} for use in the event of a failure of the {main hydraulic pump}. The auxiliary pump is typically a {12-volt DC}, electrically operated pump connected directly to the {vehicle's battery}. Some may also have an {emergency stowing manually operated pump}. However, some manufacturers have an auxiliary pump that runs on {110-volt AC} power or {small internal combustion engine}. This direct connection allows the pump to be operated even if the main vehicle {engine fails}.

1901

Depending on the incident, firefighters may need to deploy special nozzles to operate effectively in unusual locations, or on specific fuels. Jurisdictions may have unique needs that are best met by special nozzles not required as part of the NFPA® ________ {standard list of pumping apparatus equipment}. When using special purpose nozzles, consult the manufacturer for the {correct use and operating pressure}.

1901

Flowmeters measure and display water flow in gallons (liters) per minute. This number requires no further calculation as it reflects the water pressure that will be discharged through the nozzle if the hoseline is functioning at its rated capacity. The driver/operator's ability to quickly and accurately determine the flow of a particular hoseline in gallons (liters) per minute is especially advantageous when automatic nozzles are employed with handlines or master stream devices. Because handlines or master stream devices maintain a predetermined nozzle pressure and a stream that appears to be adequate, automatic nozzles may lead you to supply insufficient discharge pressures, creating a low gallon (liters) per minute flow. Insufficient discharge pressures are hazardous during fire suppression operations. Use of a flowmeter will make certain that you are aware of the gallon (liters) per minute flow and that you can develop the correct discharge pressure (within operation limits) to achieve the proper rate of flow. The flowmeter relieves you from relying on calculations based on the friction loss, elevation pressure, and length of the hoseline. Based on the NFPA® ________ standard, for every discharge outlet equipped with a {flowmeter}, a {pressure gauge} shall also be provided. These flowmeters must display flow in increments of {10 gpm (40 L/min) or less}.

1901

NFPA® ________ now requires a {two-way communication system} on all aerial device apparatus. Older apparatus may not have communication systems if the apparatus was constructed before the systems were required. When possible, IFSTA recommends that all aerial devices without a communication system be {retrofitted to include one}.

1901

Pump certification tests are performed by an independent testing organization such as Underwriters Laboratories, and are designed to ensure that the fire pump will operate as designed on the completed apparatus. These tests are performed at the manufacturing plant before final acceptance of the vehicle. The results of the tests are stamped on a plate affixed to the pump panel of the apparatus. Certification testing requirements should be part of the apparatus bid specifications. Commonly, fire departments reference the requirements of NFPA® ________ Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus.

1901

When determining a route to take, plot routes that avoid low overpasses and incompatible bridges. NFPA® ________, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus, requires a {placard in every apparatus that lists the vehicle height and weight in feet and tons} to emphasize the importance of watching for bridge and overpass limits.

1901

Heat damage to the aerial device may or may not be visible. Obvious signs of damage include discoloration, disfiguration, deformed welds, or improper operation of the aerial device. Aluminum aerial apparatus are equipped with heat sensors that change color when overheated. When heat damage is Noted, or even suspected, the aerial device must be removed from service immediately. If necessary, an Emergency Vehicle Technician (EVT) should repair the apparatus. Before placing the apparatus back in service, it should be given a thorough operation test in accordance with the non-destructive testing standards within NFPA® ________, Standard for the Inspection, Maintenance, Testing, and Retirement of In-Service Automotive Fire Apparatus.

1911

Net pump discharge pressure is the difference between the intake pressure and the discharge pressure. Performance tests are conducted at 150 psi (1 050 kPa), 165 psi (1 150 kPa), 200 psi (1 400 kPa), and 250 psi (1 750 kPa) net pump discharge pressure. When operating at draft, the net pump discharge pressure is more than the pressure displayed on the discharge gauge. When tests are conducted, the friction loss in the intake hose and the height of the lift must be considered. NFPA® ________ provides information on friction loss allowances for various sizes of intake hose that may be used during pump testing.

1911

Tire Inflation The driver/operator should understand all the information imprinted on the sidewall of a truck tire. Check that apparatus tires are inflated to the apparatus manufacturer's recommended tire pressure, according to NFPA® ________. Always follow department tire inflation SOPs.

1911

VEHICLE INSPECTION All vehicles must be equipped as required by Chapter §12 of Oklahoma Statute Title 47. Officers may inspect a vehicle and its equipment according to Chapter §13-102 of Oklahoma Statute Title 47. The following items will be inspected and must be in good working order: Lights: headlight, tail lights, brake Brakes lights, turn signals, parking lights Horn license plate light, reflectors Exhaust system Valid Oklahoma license plate Windshield and glass Windshield wiper Insurance verification form Tires Seat belts (vehicles after ________) Rear view mirror If your vehicle is required by federal law to have the {third} brake light, it must be in working order at the time of testing

1965

Fire Investigation, as it is operated today, started in ________. Prior to that, the Arson Investigators would determine cause and origin of fires and the Police Department Detective Unit would follow up the cases. In 1977, the Fire Marshal's office took fire and arson investigation and all related responsibilities from the Police Department, recognizing that fire and arson investigation was a Fire Department concern. City Ordinance was amended to provide for this change and all Fire Marshal agents to become peace officers after completing the necessary State required training.

1977

(reverse lay) After connections to the hydrant are made, conduct several checks before opening the hydrant. Close the tank to pump valve if the intake is not equipped with a shutoff valve. Newer model pumpers have a check valve in the tank-to-pump line. These valves prevent water from entering the tank under pressure from the pump intake. Pumpers built before ________ may not be equipped with this feature. If water is allowed to enter the tank under pressure, the venting {may not be adequate} to allow the pressure to dissipate, resulting in damage to the tank. If the intake is equipped with a shutoff valve, it is acceptable to {charge the intake line and bleed off the air} while still pumping in water from the tank. Regardless of whether a particular apparatus is equipped with a {check valve in the tank-to-pump line or a shutoff valve on the intake}, the driver/operator should close the {tank-to-pump valve} after transitioning to an external water supply.

1991

Large blood/body fluid cleanup Large blood/bodily-fluid contamination may include large volumes of biohazard or contaminants spread over a large geographical area. Contact OKCFD Hazardous Materials Team as necessary for response or consultation. The recommended clean-up method is to remove all visible blood/bodily fluid and then to decontaminate using an approved disinfectant for the appropriate amount of time. It is important to note that while we are able to assist with clean-up, the property owner will be responsible for decontamination. Property owners must be notified that they are responsible for decontamination. OSHA states that an EPA-registered tuberculocidal disinfectant, EPA-registered disinfectants effective against both HIV and HBV, or a diluted bleach solution (solution of 5.25 percent sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) diluted between ________ ({1 cup of bleach to 9 cups of water}) and {1:100} ({1/4 cup bleach per gallon of water}) are acceptable for clean-up of a contaminated surface or item. All disinfectant solutions should be mixed {daily}. Use of a booster line will cause {splash}, {wear eye goggles and cover or wash boots/shoes}. If the contamination is in a {vehicle or building} have owner/occupant contact a {cleanup company}. Washing with soap and water is {not} a substitute for disinfectant. As you enter the spill area, be careful not to step in any {contaminated fluids}. Flood the spill area with the {bleach and water solution}, allowing it to stand for {fifteen} minutes. Note: Under certain conditions a {micro-encapsulation absorbent material} may be applied to {pooled blood} so that the bulk of the contamination can be removed to a {biohazard bag prior to decontamination}. Place blood soaked articles into the {red biohazard bags} along with any contaminated single use PPE items.

An aerial ladder apparatus in fire department jargon may be called the (4) ladder, the truck, the aerial, or sometimes the stick. Regardless of its regional name, the aerial ladder apparatus is the most common type of aerial fire apparatus operated in North America. An aerial ladder is a power-operated ladder that allows firefighters to easily ascend and descend between the tip of the ladder and the turntable for fire fighting or rescue operations. The primary function of the turntable is to provide rotation of the aerial device. In aerial ladders made in North America, the fully extended (working) length ranges from 50 to 137 ft (15 m to 40 m). The working height for aerial ladders is measured from the ground to the highest ladder rung with the ladder at maximum elevation and extension (Figure 16.17). Some aerial apparatus models manufactured and used in the U.S. and overseas far exceed these heights, and may reach in excess of ________ feet (60 m). These are highly specialized apparatus and usually found in specific locations requiring their specialized capabilities.

The two most common types of flowmeters in service are: • Paddlewheel — Mounted at the top of a straight section of the discharge pipe so that only a small portion of the device extends into the waterway. This method of placement reduces the impediment to waterflow and lessens the chance of damage from any debris in the pipe. As water moves past the paddlewheel, a sensor measures the speed at which it spins and translates the information into a flow measurement. • Spring-probe—Employs a stainless steel spring probe to detect water movement in the discharge piping. The greater the flow, the more the spring is bent. An electrical charge is transmitted from the spring to a display unit for review by the driver/operator. With only one simple moving part, the spring probe design tends to require very little maintenance. With proper calibration, a flowmeter in good working order should be accurate to a tolerance of plus or minus ________ percent. In other words, based on a flow of 100 gpm (400 L/min), the display should be no more than 3 gallons (12 L) higher or lower than the actual discharge. Each discharge equipped with a flowmeter must have a {digital readout display} mounted within {6} inches (150 mm) of the control valve for that discharge (Figure 8.1). If a pressure gauge is mounted at the 6-inch (150 mm) location, then the flowmeter must be mounted within {2} inches (50 mm) adjacent to the pressure gauge.

Figure 10.15, the pressure has been reduced inside the pump and intake hose to reduce the atmospheric pressure inside the pump and intake hose to 12.7 psi (86 kPa). With an atmospheric pressure at sea level of 14.7 psi (100 kPa), a partial vacuum of -2 psi (-14 kPa) is measured on the intake (compound) pressure gauge as 4 inches of mercury (Hg) (-13.6 kPa). This vacuum causes the water to rise ________ feet (1.4 m) into the intake hose from the surface of the water. The weight of water combined with the reduced air pressure acting on its surface creates a {balance}. As the water begins to move through the pump, additional pressure losses are encountered. Any hose or appliance creates a certain amount of friction loss. The amount of friction loss is {proportional to the amount of water moving through it}. The {inertia of water} is an additional factor in friction loss. As water begins to move through a pump, a certain amount of energy is consumed in getting the water at rest to begin to move and increase its velocity sufficiently to supply the amount of water needed. The amount of friction loss in the intake hose depends on the {diameter and length} of the hose as well as the {intake strainer} and any {adapters} in use. A hose with {smaller} diameter and greater length has higher friction loss, which allows less water at the pump (Figure 10.16). Taking this into consideration, the diameter of intake hose may be increased for pumps with larger capacities. It is possible to increase the flow of a pump by using a larger diameter intake hose or adding additional intake hose. For example, a pumper rated at 750 gpm (3 000 L/min) is normally supplied with 41⁄2 inch (115 mm) intake hose to attain the rated capacity. By equipping the pumper with 5-inch (125 mm) hose, the capacity of the pump can be increased to 820 gpm (3 300 L/min), if all other factors remain the same.

Additional intake lines, usually gated, are provided for use in relay operations, or when water is received through small diameter supply hose. Many of these intakes have 2 1⁄2 inch (65 mm) hose couplings. The amount of flow that can be obtained is determined by the diameter of the pipe from the valve to the pump inlet and the straightness of the pipe routing. If 2 1⁄2-inch (65 mm) pipe is used with 90 degree bends and T-fittings, the flow may be limited to 250 gpm (1 000 L/min). Whereas, if 3-inch (77 mm) pipe is used with a straighter piping route, a flow as high as ________ gpm (1 800 L/min) is possible through one of these intakes, which may also be used as auxiliary drafting points.

Loading fire hose while driving the apparatus is particularly common when loading large diameter (4-inch [100 mm] or larger) supply hose. It is common for large-diameter supply hose to be loaded as the driver/operator slowly drives the apparatus. NFPA® 1500 provides the following directions on how these operations should be performed: Train all members specifically on how to perform the moving hose-load operation. The procedure must be contained in the department's written standard operating procedures (SOPs). Assign at least one member, other than the driver/operator and the firefighters actually loading the hose, as a safety observer to the operation. The observer must have constant visual contact with the hose-loading operation, as well as visual and voice communication (usually via a portable radio) with the driver/operator (Figure 3.10, p. 92). Close the area in which the hose loading is being performed to other vehicular traffic.

Large blood/body fluid cleanup Large blood/bodily-fluid contamination may include large volumes of biohazard or contaminants spread over a large geographical area. Contact OKCFD Hazardous Materials Team as necessary for response or consultation. The recommended clean-up method is to remove all visible blood/bodily fluid and then to decontaminate using an approved disinfectant for the appropriate amount of time. It is important to note that while we are able to assist with clean-up, the property owner will be responsible for decontamination. Property owners must be notified that they are responsible for decontamination. OSHA states that an EPA-registered tuberculocidal disinfectant, EPA-registered disinfectants effective against both HIV and HBV, or a diluted bleach solution (solution of ________ percent {sodium hypochlorite} ({household bleach}) diluted between {1:10} ({1 cup of bleach to 9 cups of water}) and {1:100} ({1/4 cup bleach per gallon of water}) are acceptable for clean-up of a contaminated surface or item. All disinfectant solutions should be mixed {daily}. Use of a booster line will cause {splash}, {wear eye goggles and cover or wash boots/shoes}. If the contamination is in a {vehicle or building} have owner/occupant contact a {cleanup company}. Washing with soap and water is {not} a substitute for disinfectant. As you enter the spill area, be careful not to step in any {contaminated fluids}. Flood the spill area with the {bleach and water solution}, allowing it to stand for {fifteen} minutes. Note: Under certain conditions a {micro-encapsulation absorbent material} may be applied to {pooled blood} so that the bulk of the contamination can be removed to a {biohazard bag prior to decontamination}. Place blood soaked articles into the {red biohazard bags} along with any contaminated single use PPE items.

The most common method of distributing gas is through a medium pressure line. In this case, the pressure range is from 1 pound to 60 pounds of pressure. Because of this higher pressure, the gas in most cases is reduced to ________ ounces of pressure by a {service regulator} located {ahead of the meter}. There are also {intermediate-pressure and high-pressure} distribution systems Meter settings on these systems contain {two} regulators ahead of the meter. These regulators step down the {intermediate or high} pressure to utilization pressure

After successfully priming the pump, the throttle setting should slowly be increased before attempting to open any discharges. Increasing the throttle setting is required to raise the pressure to between 50 and 100 psi (350 kPa and 700 kPa). Open the desired discharge valve slowly while observing the discharge pressure. If the pressure drops below ________ psi (350 kPa), {pause for a brief time} to allow it to stabilize before opening the valve further. Opening the valve too quickly may cause air to enter the pump causing a loss of prime. If the pressure continues to drop, {momentarily operating the primer} may eliminate any small pockets of air still trapped in the pump and restore the pressure to its point. Once water begins to flow, the discharge gauge may {fluctuate} due to {air trapped in the pump and hose}. This effect will stabilize once full flow is established.

For landing safety, always remember : 1. Approach the helicopter from the front only, never from the rear, and only when motioned to do so by the pilot or a crewmember 2. Do not run beneath the helicopter when it is landing or taking off 3. Ensure the landing area is secured by law enforcement personnel on the scene, or by fire or EMS personnel 4. The landing guide should be at least 100 feet from the helicopter. When signaling where to land, stand with your back to the wind. Depart when the helicopter is on final approach 5. If possible, land the helicopter no closer than ________ yards from the scene 6. Approach the aircraft from the {downhill} side if on sloped terrain 7. Carry all equipment {below the waist} 8. Do not assist the flight crew with {opening or closing the doors} 9. {No smoking or running} within {50}-feet of the aircraft 10.

PLACARDING The National Fire Protection Association Standard 704 (N.F.P.A. 704) applies to placarding of fixed storage facilities, tanks etc., that exceed a threshold for compliance. Any Oklahoma City Fire Department storage tank or storage container with 55 gallons of liquid, ________ pounds of {nonliquid}, or {800} cubic feet of {pressurized gas}, must have an appropriate {N.F.P.A. placard} according to this standard (see below for N.F.P.A. application). Buildings or Structures with a floor space of {five thousand (5000) square feet or less}, must {post a sign on the outside of the building or structure identifying the highest degree of hazard in each category}. Buildings with {more than five thousand (5000) square feet} must have additional signs posted inside the building where significant amounts of hazardous chemicals are {permanently stored} to identifying the type of hazardous chemicals. See Appendix "{D}" for appropriate N.F.P.A. placard.

Midship pumps The gear ratio is set to match the engine torque curve to the speed of the rotation required for the impeller to deliver the rated capacity of the pump. This ratio is arranged so that the impeller turns faster than the engine, usually one and a half (1 1⁄2) to two and a half (2 1⁄2) times as fast. The maximum capacity that can be obtained by this system is limited only by the engine horsepower and the size of the pump. Most fire pumps can be configured to operate over a range of capacities determined by the piping arrangement and gear ratio used in the apparatus. Some pumps can be rated anywhere from ________ gpm (2 000 L/min to 9 000 L/min) with no major changes to the pump itself. The usual arrangement provides control of the {transfer case} from inside the apparatus cab by using a {mechanical linkage or by electrical, hydraulic, or air-operated controls}. If so equipped, the driver/operator should engage the {pump and put the road transmission in the proper gear} (based on the manufacturer's instructions) {before leaving the cab}. If the road transmission is not placed in the correct gear, the pump will {not turn at the needed rpm to operate effectively}. When the driver/operator places the transmission in the correct gear, a {lockout} feature engages, preventing the transmission from {switching gears} as rpms are raised or lowered.

Articulating platform apparatus are similar to the telescoping aerial platform apparatus. The primary difference is in the operation of the aerial device. Instead of telescoping into each other, the boom sections are connected by a hinge, and they fold and unfold like an elbow. The booms are constructed in basically the same manner as telescoping platforms. These units perform many of the same functions as telescoping aerial apparatus. These functions include rescue, ventilation, master stream application, and gaining access to upper floors. An additional benefit of an articulating aerial platform is that the assembly enables the platform to go "up and over" and into areas that are not accessible with a straight line apparatus. This ability may be especially useful during rescue operations. Standard articulating aerial platforms range in height from ________ feet (17 m to 26 m).

The JRC is supplied by a hoseline from the main fire pump that is supplying other hoselines. The flow of water to this device represents only about 2.5 percent of the total flow in the system. Like a standard in-line eductor water flowing through the JRC creates a venturi effect that draws foam concentrate into the pickup tube, then into the hoseline. However, a JRC proportions the concentrate at a ________ percent solution. This overproportioned solution is then pumped into a {self-educting master stream foam nozzle} where it is further proportioned with water also supplied by the fire pump, resulting in a discharge solution of {three percent}. In order to achieve the proper proportion the {JRC and nozzle} must be correctly matched.

Classes will be conducted according to all AHA PAM policies and the Oklahoma City Fire Department AHA Training Center policies. Complete all course rosters and submit to Training Center within ________ days of class completion. Assigning eCards and uploading rosters to AHA Instructor Network does not eliminate the responsibility of the instructor to submit rosters to {Target Solutions} for classes taught off duty

Certain aerial apparatus may carry hose on the top of the body under the aerial ladder. These apparatus have a "trough" or "chute" to guide the hose around the ladder turntable on its way out the back of the truck. While this method has many operational advantages, the hose chute must be watched carefully to ensure that hose connections do not get caught as the hose is exiting through the chute. Operators of this type of device must take special care to lay the hose in a manner conducive to the chute design and keep apparatus speeds very slow during deployment. Hose couplings that jam or catch on corners or other obstructions can cause the deploying hose to pull taught or whip, damaging equipment and injuring bystanders. Lay couplings so that they are pulled out straight, without flipping around. Lay hose so that it never crosses over itself when paying out. Maintain vehicle speed of 5 mph (10 km/h) or less. At 5 mph (10 km/h), ________ feet (2 m) of hose is pulled out each {second}. Travelling more than 5 mph (10 km/h) is likely to cause a {hose jam in the hose chute}.

SIMON LTI QS-82 EMERGENCY POWER UNIT OPERATION EPU Operation The Emergency Power Unit consists of an electric motor and a small hydraulic pump which, when activated, allows the operator to move the aerial or outriggers in the event of a main system failure. The system is capable of all functions in a no-load condition,. However, because of short continuous use limit time, it is important that only required functions be used to move personnel and equipment to safety. Functions should be limited to those associated with wrapup of the aerial. The outriggers can be stowed, to allow truck movement in a situation of impending danger. The EPU can be used over a long period of time at a ________% duty cycle, which is approximately {21} seconds in {5} minutes NOTE: The EPU should be run every 10 hours of aerial use to circulate oil in the system and ensure the unit is working properly CAUTION: The EPU is rated for a maximum of three minutes of continuous operation

Volunteer Organizations Volunteer firefighters staff approximately ________ percent of fire and emergency services organizations. May be a {municipal, county or nonprofit} organization.

The following are safe and efficient nozzle pressures for common fire streams: • Solid stream nozzle (handline) = 50 psi (350 kPa) • Solid stream nozzle (master stream) = ________ psi (560 kPa) • Fog nozzle = {100} psi (700 kPa) • Low pressure fog nozzle = {50} or {75} psi (350 or 525 kPa)

The nozzle pressure and size of the discharge orifice determine the flow and reach of a solid stream. Solid stream nozzles on handlines should generally be operated at a maximum of 50 psi (350 kPa) nozzle pressure, while master stream appliances should be operated at a maximum ________ psi (560 kPa).

Some other general safety principles to follow when using detachable ladder pipes are: • Only one firefighter at a time should be on the top fly of the aerial ladder when changing the stream pattern. Do not extend or retract the ladder while the firefighter is at the tip. • The driver/operator should avoid sudden movement or surges in pressure when using a ladder pipe. Slowly elevate or lower the ladder pipe barrel and gradually increase the nozzle pressure. • When shutting down the flow to the ladder pipe, it should be done slowly to avoid unnecessary stress on the aerial device. Sudden pressure changes produce reactions that may result in shock loading and ladder sway, with damaging results. • Always locate the supply hose in the center of the ladder and secure it with a hose strap or other suitable means (Figure 19.16). • Turn table movement should be smooth and slow when rotating the turntable to direct the ladder pipe stream in different directions. • Use the ________ guideline for quick ladder pipe use: {75 degree elevation, 80 percent extended length, and 80 psi (560 kPa) nozzle pressure for a 1 1⁄2-inch (38 mm) tip} (Figure 19.17). Use ladder pipes {perpendicular} to the rungs on older units, with a maximum lateral movement of {15} degrees to either side, if lateral movement is allowed. Many new models offer a {180} degree sweep. • Do not use a {hoseline and nozzle} strapped to a ladder as a ladder pipe. • Always follow specific operating guidelines that the aerial device manufacturer provides.

Common Pumper Requirements and Equipment NFPA® 1901, Standard for Automotive Fire Apparatus, contains the requirements of pumper design. The standard specifies a minimum pump capacity of ________ gpm (3 000 L/min) and a water tank with a capacity of at least {300} gallons (1 200 L). Pump capacities larger than 750 gpm (3 000 L/min) increase in increments of {250} gpm (1 000 L/min) with most municipal fire departments operating pumpers of {2,000 gpm (8 000 L/min) or less}. There are, however, many pumpers in service with {industrial} fire departments that {exceed 2,000 gpm} (8 000 L/min). In addition to a fire pump, the apparatus must be equipped with {intake and discharge pump connections, pump controls and gauges, as well as a variety of hose sizes and types}. These hoses include {intake, supply, and attack} hose. The apparatus will also feature various nozzles and appliances based on local requirements. Modern fire department pumpers carry a wide variety of portable equipment in addition to that associated with its water supply function (Figure 1.2). {NFPA® 1901} specifies the minimum portable equipment that must be carried on all fire department pumpers. Each jurisdiction may supplement this equipment based on local practices and conditions. The following list contains equipment commonly found on pumpers: {Ground ladders Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) Forcible entry tools Salvage tools and equipment Portable water tank Emergency medical equipment}

Lack of driving skills may result from: Overconfidence in your driving ability. Inability to recognize a dangerous situation, False sense of security because of a good driving record, Misunderstanding of apparatus capabilities, Insufficient training on a piece of apparatus. Overconfidence in your driving ability. You must not let the adrenaline rush of responding to an emergency impair good judgment and sound decisions. The task of safely driving the apparatus to the scene must always be foremost in your mind. Inability to recognize a dangerous situation. In a study conducted by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), it was determined that in 42 percent of all collisions, the driver/operator was not aware of a problem until it was too late to correct. You may not have the ability to identify when you are approaching a dangerous situation. False sense of security because of a good driving record. You may not have had a previous collision and, therefore, do not believe a collision could occur. Misunderstanding of apparatus capabilities. Fire apparatus do not handle the same or stop as quickly as passenger vehicles. Inexperienced or poorly trained driver/operators may fail to consider the size and weight of the apparatus and drive it in the same manner as their personal vehicle. A full water tank provides better braking for the weight and subsequent road surface traction. When a water tank is empty, the apparatus is lighter, faster, and handles the road differently than when the water tank is full. Considering a pumper with a 1,000 gallon (4 000 L) tank, the difference in weight between a full and empty tank is over ________,000 pounds (4 000 kg). An apparatus with a properly baffled tank that is partially filled may be {more dangerous than a full or empty tank}. For safety reasons, many manufacturers recommend that tanks be either completely {empty or full}. Insufficient training on a piece of apparatus. This may result in a {lack of knowledge} about the {controls of the apparatus}.

REMEMBERING WHEN (SENIOR SAFETY PROGRAM) Each year, approximately 7,000 older adults, age 65 and older, die as a result of home falls, and an additional 1,000 die in their homes from fires or burns.

The most common actuators for ball-type valves are either push-pull handles or (T-handles) or quarter-turn handles. The push-pull valve handles on some pumps use a sliding gear tooth rack that engages a sector gear connected to the valve stem. This arrangement provides a mechanical advantage that makes the valve easier to operate under pressure as well as the setting of precise values of pressure when adjusting individual lines. The operating linkage may be adjusted so that the valves may be mounted remotely from the pump panel. The push-pull lever usually has a flat handle that can be used to lock the valve in any position by a ________-degree twist of the handle. The push-pull handle must be pulled straight out with the sides kept {level}. If this is not done, the shaft may {bind}, making the valve {difficult to move or inoperable}.

The quarter-turn handle has a simpler mechanical linkage with the handle mounted directly on the valve stem. The valve is opened or closed by a ________-degree movement of the handle. Modern versions of this handle lock by rotating the handle in a {clockwise} direction (Figure 9.24). Some of the valves {lock automatically} when the handle is released, but the majority requires a {positive action} to lock the valve in position.

Beware of "Telephone" Cables Telephone cables are rarely dangerous when accidentally contacted. But, are you so sure you can tell the difference between telephone cables and electric power cables, that you'd stake your life on it - and the lives of others? Although higher voltage facilities are generally installed higher up on utility poles, this is not always true, electric power cables operating at 34,000 volts maybe attached below telephone cables on the same pole. And a fallen telephone cable may be contacting a powerline! NEVER REST LADDERS ON WIRES OR ON ANY OTHER ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT! NEVER DRAG HOSES OVER WIRES! NEVER COME TOO CLOSE TO WIRES - BRUSHING AGAINST ONE CAN ________! NO {ENCORES}, PLEASE You may have some experience where you were able to contact energized facilities without incident. But, just because you "{got away with it}" before doesn't guarantee you will get away with it again. Remember, higher voltage facilities have much greater "{pressure}" behind the electricity. Something you "got away with" on {120}-volt facilities can bring disaster if attempted on {34,000}-volt facilities. And since {normal water} is a {conductor} of electricity, even {slightly damp objects} become much more hazardous

Case History: Driver/operator candidates reading this chapter should understand that the design, production, and use of fire department pumping apparatus is an evolutionary process in which technological advances are introduced to the fire service. With the invention of the siphon pump used during Roman times to the advent of the first pieces of sewn leather fire hose in Holland during the late 1600s, fire fighting capabilities have advanced as better equipment and tactics have developed. ________ apparatus like the {Newsham engine} gave way to the {horse drawn steam engine} and finally {motorized fire apparatus}. While pumpers of a generation ago may have carried {hose}, a few {nozzles}, and {ground ladders}, the many configurations, special applications, and wide variety of equipment carried on modern pumpers are a direct result of adapting {evolving technology} to the expanding mission of the fire service. Pumping apparatus capable of supporting extrication or technical rescue incidents as well as providing scene lighting and electrical power are now commonly found in many jurisdictions. The driver/operator must often be proficient in the operation of many types of specialized equipment as well as safely driving the apparatus and operating the fire pump. Fire apparatus are classified according to the primary function for which they are designed. This chapter describes various types of apparatus that are equipped with a fire pump. Some of these vehicles feature additional systems such as aerial devices or rescue tool systems. The {fire department pumper} is the {core} unit of the fire service and is sometimes expected to fill several roles such as {rescue, hazardous materials (hazmat), or medical responses}.

Hand tub

Fire Department response to an "Active Assailant" incident will include; 2- Engine Company's, 1- Rescue Ladder, ________, and the {District/Battalion Chief (DO).} Dispatch will also activate the {Fire Departments "Command Page"} Fire Response: The Fire Department DO assigned to the event will go to {OCPD Dispatch 6} and contact Police Dispatch to establish communications with PD on-scene command/supervisor {PD dispatch} will relay any needed information to the responding Fire DO until on-scene {PD command is able to communicate directly}. The immediate goal of establishing {radio communication is to set up face-to-face contact as early in the incident as possible}

Hazmat 5

The Hazmat Science Group, led by the Science Officer, is responsible for gathering information for the Hazmat Organization, the need for information (product, container, outside resources, etc.) and equipment (PPE, monitors, tools, etc.) and fills the needs for materials and information that is on site for the ________. The {Science Officer's} Radio call sign is "{Science}".

Hazmat Team

Those incidents requiring an "entry" by the Hazmat Unit to stabilize the situation will follow these standard procedures PRE-ENTRY All tasks and procedures are to be identified before attempting entry Unfamiliar tasks are to be practiced before entry No personnel are to enter the Exclusion Zone until support personnel complete the Entry Team Checklist There shall be a visible identification system for all Entry and Decontamination Team personnel. This identification system shall provide incident commanders with the ability to identify personnel at a distance Conduct an Incident Risk Analysis with the ________ with respect to {possible results of actions taken to stabilize the incident} Identify {Known hazards} and risks This must include all known or suspected {physical, biological, radiological or chemical hazards}

Hazmat Team

In some cases, the aerial apparatus may be required to position on and operate from a bridge or overpass. This most commonly occurs when a large fire of some type or rescue operation occurs next to a bridge. In these cases, the Incident Commander may determine that it is tactically important to deploy elevated master streams or rescue equipment from the bridge side of the incident. The following guidelines should be used in these situations: • Be sure that the bridge has a load capacity that is safe for the apparatus to drive on and operate from. • If multiple apparatus must work on a bridge, do not park or operate all apparatus on the same span. The combined static load of all apparatus may exceed its design limitations. Instead, stagger apparatus in different traffic lanes without parking side-by-side. • Be sure the road surface upon which the apparatus is parked is in good repair. Avoid weak spots that might allow a stabilizer to punch through the bridge decking. • Follow the principles discussed earlier in this chapter for setting up the aerial apparatus on an incline if the bridge has a significantly sloped road surface. • Use caution when raising the aerial device if the bridge has a superstructure above the road surface. If electric lines are present, allow the standard 10 foot (3 m) safety distance from the lines. • Be alert for wind conditions on top of a large bridge. It may be necessary to use high-wind operating principles for the aerial device. Wind conditions may be more severe here than on either side of the access to the bridge. • Recognize that most large bridges are designed to move somewhat in response to forces placed upon them by wind, traffic, and water movement below. This movement will be somewhat amplified at the tip of a raised aerial device, depending on the type and intensity of the force. ________ will further affect the movement of the aerial device. When this movement becomes {uncomfortable for firefighters or begins to place excessive lateral stress on the aerial device}, {minimize the extension} of the device as much as possible. • Remember that {bridges and elevated sections of roads} will be the first road surfaces to {freeze during cold weather}. This can pose serious travel and positioning hazards.

High winds

________ weather can also affect surface conditions. Icy/snowy surfaces and hot surfaces will be addressed in the sections following.

Hot and cold

(high rise fire) Because the products of combustion create an ________ atmosphere, ventilation should begin as soon as possible. Proper ventilation will remove the {toxins from the building and should reduce heat in the affected area(s).} Heat conditions in high-rise fires may exceed the capabilities of {firefighter's PPE}. When excessive heat conditions exist, crews may have no choice but to {withdrawal from the area until the temperatures fall to a level that can be withstood}. When crews have to withdraw, {defensive operations} should begin until the temperatures are within tolerable limits : 1. Do not bring {PPV blowers to the fire floor initially}. Due to the lack of exit openings, PPV could cause the fire to {massively accelerate} 2. Use PPV at the {base of the stairwells} as this will have {minimal affect} on {fire behavior}, and will help {keep the stairs clear of smoke} 3. Consider {electric} fans 4. Top priority should be given to {protecting elevator shafts} from {water cascading}, thereby {rendering elevators useless}. {Diking} around the elevator shafts, on floors where hose lines are deployed, is essential to the continued operation of elevator cars 5. If access above the fire floor is required, utilize an elevator in the {blind shaft}, if present, to ascend above the fire floor. If a fire department member does not already man this elevator, then a member must be assigned to {remain in the elevator} 6. Building personnel should be consulted, if possible, for utilization of equipment to assist in performing {salvage work}: i.e. {hand-trucks}, {pallet-jacks}, {forklifts}, etc, for relocating or removing {valuable contents}.

Beware of "Telephone" Cables Telephone cables are rarely dangerous when accidentally contacted. But, are you so sure you can tell the difference between telephone cables and electric power cables, that you'd stake your life on it - and the lives of others? Although higher voltage facilities are generally installed higher up on utility poles, this is not always true, electric power cables operating at 34,000 volts maybe attached below telephone cables on the same pole. And a fallen telephone cable may be contacting a powerline! NEVER REST LADDERS ON WIRES OR ON ANY OTHER ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT! NEVER DRAG HOSES OVER WIRES! NEVER COME TOO CLOSE TO WIRES - BRUSHING AGAINST ONE CAN BE FATAL! NO ENCORES, PLEASE You may have some experience where you were able to contact energized facilities without incident. But, just because you "got away with it" before doesn't guarantee you will get away with it again. Remember, higher voltage facilities have much greater "pressure" behind the electricity. Something you "got away with" on 120-volt facilities can bring disaster if attempted on 34,000-volt facilities. And since normal water is a ________ of electricity, even {slightly damp objects} become much more hazardous

The power may be needed to operate pumps or other equipment that, if stopped, would cause additional damage to the building or to any materials being produced in it. Also, fire fighters may be aided by having lights available as well as having any elevators operating for firefighting and evacuation purposes. Once a fire company shuts off any power, the electric company may require the Fire Marshal's approval and an inspection certificate from an authorized Electrical Inspection Agency before turning the power back on. Nevertheless, whenever safe firefighting requires the power to be shut off, use whichever of the following actions is appropriate and necessary : 1. REMOVE FUSES OR OPEN CIRCUIT BREAKERS to shut off the affected section 2. OPEN MAIN SWITCH to shut off entire building when electric service is no longer useful. If you must stand in water or if the switch is wet, do not grasp the switch handle in the palm of your hand. Use dry equipment such as a piece of rope, pike pole, or handle of fire ax to open the switch. Then attach a warning tag indicating that the power has been intentionally shut off 3. CUT WIRES ONLY TO PROTECT LIFE for example, when a fire fighter's life would be endangered by leaving a building energized, or when a victim must be rescued. However, cutting electric wires should only be considered when it is not practicable to remove fuses, open circuit breakers, open the main switch, or wait for an electric company representative 4. PULL ELECTRIC METER ONLY AS A LAST RESORT and then only to protect life when no other method is practicable. Wear buttoned running coat, gloves, and ________ or {goggles} to protect against electric {arcing}.

Large blood/body fluid cleanup Large blood/bodily-fluid contamination may include large volumes of biohazard or contaminants spread over a large geographical area. Contact OKCFD Hazardous Materials Team as necessary for response or consultation. The recommended clean-up method is to remove all visible blood/bodily fluid and then to decontaminate using an approved disinfectant for the appropriate amount of time. It is important to note that while we are able to assist with clean-up, the property owner will be responsible for decontamination. Property owners must be notified that they are responsible for decontamination. OSHA states that an EPA-registered tuberculocidal disinfectant, EPA-registered disinfectants effective against both HIV and HBV, or a diluted bleach solution (solution of 5.25 percent sodium hypochlorite (household bleach) diluted between 1:10 (1 cup of bleach to 9 cups of water) and 1:100 (1/4 cup bleach per gallon of water) are acceptable for clean-up of a contaminated surface or item. All disinfectant solutions should be mixed daily. Use of a booster line will cause splash, wear eye goggles and cover or wash boots/shoes. If the contamination is in a vehicle or building have owner/occupant contact a cleanup company. Washing with soap and water is not a substitute for disinfectant. As you enter the spill area, be careful not to step in any contaminated fluids. Flood the spill area with the bleach and water solution, allowing it to stand for ________ minutes. Note: Under certain conditions a {micro-encapsulation absorbent material} may be applied to {pooled blood} so that the bulk of the contamination can be removed to a {biohazard bag prior to decontamination}. Place blood soaked articles into the {red biohazard bags} along with any contaminated single use PPE items.

An open ________ ({open butt}) produces a stream that normally has no use in fire fighting. Some type of nozzle is needed to {shape the stream}. When a closed nozzle with a 1-inch (25 mm) tip is added to the system, the water level in the glass tubes returns to Line A. When the nozzle is opened, the water level drops to Line C (Figure 5.14). If the 1-inch (25 mm) tip is replaced with a 3⁄4-inch (19 mm) tip, the water level in the glass tubes rises even higher. The velocity of the water exiting the nozzle {increases}, but the amount of flow {decreases}. By decreasing the amount of water flowing, a firefighter reduces the speed of the water in the hose; consequently, there is less friction loss.

After apparatus has entered rig room, comes to a complete stop and operator has turned engine off the exhaust system should be connected to apparatus. Overhead door in which apparatus entered should remain open until exhaust system has been connected. At no time should apparatus be operated above idle inside the rig room with exhaust venting system connected except when apparatus is leaving the facility When apparatus engine is running at idle inside the station for extended periods the exhaust system should be switched to the manual position on the control panel. Unless access to a particular compartment is needed, system hoses should be attached at all times while the vehicle is in quarters. The Company Officer is responsible for compliance with this directive. Questions concerning the system should be directed to the District Coordinator or Facilities Manager When two or more apparatus are stationed together and when possible the apparatus located on the right should exit station ________ to prevent exhaust hose from {retracting back and striking crews boarding apparatus adjacent to first exiting rig}. Stay clear of the {passenger side} of any vehicle leaving the station.

Fourth Principle For a given velocity, friction loss is approximately the same, regardless of the pressure on the water. This principle explains why friction loss is the same when hoses or pipes at different pressures flow the same amount of water. For example, if 100 gpm (400 L/min) passes through a 3-inch (77 mm) hose within a certain time, the water must travel at a specified velocity (feet per second). For the same rate of flow to pass through a 11⁄2-inch (38 mm) hose, the velocity must be greatly increased. Four 11⁄2-inch hoses (38 mm) are needed to flow 100 gpm (400 L/min) at the same velocity as a single 3-inch (77 mm) hose. While pipe sizes are ________, some brands of fire hose may expand to a {larger inside diameter} than other brands when under pressure. Although both brands may be sold as 13⁄4-inch (45 mm) hose, one may actually expand close to 2 inches (50 mm) when charged. The tendency to expand {decreases velocity} and therefore {decreases friction loss}.

Flowmeters measure and display water flow in gallons (liters) per minute. This number requires no further calculation as it reflects the water pressure that will be discharged through the nozzle if the hoseline is functioning at its rated capacity. The driver/operator's ability to quickly and accurately determine the flow of a particular hoseline in gallons (liters) per minute is especially advantageous when automatic nozzles are employed with handlines or master stream devices. Because handlines or master stream devices maintain a predetermined nozzle pressure and a stream that appears to be adequate, automatic nozzles may lead you to supply insufficient discharge pressures, creating a low gallon (liters) per minute flow. Insufficient discharge pressures are hazardous during fire suppression operations. Use of a flowmeter will make certain that you are aware of the gallon (liters) per minute flow and that you can develop the correct discharge pressure (within operation limits) to achieve the proper rate of flow. The flowmeter relieves you from relying on calculations based on the friction loss, elevation pressure, and length of the hoseline. Based on the NFPA® 1901 standard, for every discharge outlet equipped with a ________, a {pressure gauge} shall also be provided. These flowmeters must display flow in increments of {10 gpm (40 L/min) or less}.

Case History An instructor was reviewing pumping operations with another firefighter using a 2 1⁄2 inch (65 mm) line supplied by a hydrant into the pump with a 1 3⁄4 inch (45 mm) line stretched to discharge water. The training included switching from tank water to a pressurized source. This task was completed a number of times. During one evolution as the tank fill valve was being opened, a loud noise and water spraying from inside the pump panel was observed. The instructor and firefighter initially withdrew slightly and then moved to shut down the operation. During this time, the top portion of the pump panel was forced loose by water pressure and flew open with enough force to damage the panel and other nearby components. Fortunately, neither the instructor nor firefighter sustained injury. Upon inspection it was found that the line from the tank fill valve to the tank had come off allowing water from the 2 1⁄2-inch (65 mm) pipe to spray directly at the pump panel. Driver/operators must wear ________ even when operating at the pump panel in order to lessen the chance of injury should an event such as this occur. In addition, {reacting quickly} to shut down or modify operations when a problem is detected may help reduce the impact of {mechanical problems}.

In some cases, the aerial apparatus may be required to position on and operate from a bridge or overpass. This most commonly occurs when a large fire of some type or rescue operation occurs next to a bridge. In these cases, the Incident Commander may determine that it is tactically important to deploy elevated master streams or rescue equipment from the bridge side of the incident. The following guidelines should be used in these situations: • Be sure that the bridge has a load capacity that is safe for the apparatus to drive on and operate from. • If multiple apparatus must work on a bridge, do not park or operate all apparatus on the same span. The combined static load of all apparatus may exceed its design limitations. Instead, stagger apparatus in different traffic lanes without parking side-by-side. • Be sure the road surface upon which the apparatus is parked is in ________. Avoid {weak spots} that might allow a stabilizer to punch through the {bridge decking}. • Follow the principles discussed earlier in this chapter for setting up the aerial apparatus on an incline if the bridge has a significantly sloped road surface. • Use caution when raising the aerial device if the bridge has a {superstructure} above the road surface. If electric lines are present, allow the standard {10} foot (3 m) safety distance from the lines. • Be alert for {wind conditions} on top of a large bridge. It may be necessary to use high-wind operating principles for the aerial device. Wind conditions may be more severe here than on either side of the access to the bridge. • Recognize that most large bridges are designed to {move somewhat} in response to forces placed upon them by {wind, traffic, and water movement below}. This movement will be {somewhat amplified} at the {tip of a raised aerial device}, depending on the type and intensity of the force. {High winds} will further affect the movement of the aerial device. When this movement becomes {uncomfortable for firefighters or begins to place excessive lateral stress on the aerial device}, {minimize the extension} of the device as much as possible. • Remember that {bridges and elevated sections of roads} will be the first road surfaces to {freeze during cold weather}. This can pose serious travel and positioning hazards.

Water moving through a pipe or hose has both mass and velocity. The mass of water increases as the pipe or hose size increases. Suddenly stopping water, moving through a hose or pipe, results in an energy surge being transmitted in the opposite direction, often at many times the original pressure. Each time this occurs there is an amplification of the wave causing pressure to ________. This surge is referred to as {water hammer} (Figure 5.15, p. 182). Where large volumes of water are involved, such as in large diameter hose layouts, water hammer is especially critical and can damage the {pump, appliances, hose, or the municipal water system itself}. To prevent water hammer when water is flowing, {slowly close nozzles, valves, and hose clamps}. When flowing from a water system, the entire operation should be stopped very slowly. When master streams are flowed or hydrants opened, they should be partially {closed, stopped, and then closed more} as a prevention measure.

We display quality character and take the time to do things right. Modern culture tells us to "________." While that is a great motivational thought, it does not show any real {commitment}. Oklahoma City Firefighters show commitment by taking the time to "{just do it RIGHT}." We believe that commitment must also be our pledge while off duty. The actions of our off-duty personnel can reflect how the community views the Oklahoma City Fire Department. The actions of each of us reflect on all of us. How many times have we heard that when we are in uniform we all look alike? Problems with employees have occurred in the past and will occur in the future. An exceptional employee's performance may drop to a low standard because of problems with children at home, drinking alcohol, marital problems, or even depression. These are the employees we must reach out to and provide assistance. The Oklahoma City Fire Department has an Employee's Assistance Program available to help employees with these problems. Our employees are too important to our success, and we have too much invested in them to ignore these problems. We cannot allow anyone to go by the wayside. It is important to note that these employees must also want (be committed) to help themselves. Our vision and mission statements not only describe the way we treat and respond to the citizens we serve, but also the way we communicate and work with our fellow firefighters.

While most of the principles discussed in this chapter apply to tractor-drawn apparatus, there are special considerations when stabilizing these types of trucks. The way in which the tractor-drawn apparatus is parked or positioned at the scene can provide additional stability to the apparatus. Parking the apparatus with an angle between the tractor and trailer sections increases the stability beyond what the stabilizers alone can provide. Maximum stability is achieved when the angle of the tractor is 60 degrees from the centerline of the trailer, and the aerial ladder is operated toward the outside of the angle. Angles ________ degrees provide less stability, as do angles increasing from {61 to 90} degrees. The driver/operator should never position the vehicle with the tractor and trailer at an angle greater than 90 degrees as poor stability is produced and damage to the truck may occur. Many tractor-drawn vehicles are equipped with an {alarm} that sounds if an attempt is made to create an angle greater than 90 degrees.

Another purpose for pump and suction drains is to remove all the water from the system in climates where freezing may occur. In addition to the fact that ice will create a barrier to water flow, the expansion that occurs during freezing may cause damage to pump and piping components. Drains must be supplied at the lowest point on the pump and at the ________ point of each line connecting to it. These drains may also be connected to a master drain valve so that when operated, it will open the drains {simultaneously}. This drain should not be opened either when the pump is operating with {pressure or with vacuum} on the intake. If the valve is opened during these operations, the "{O}" ring used as a gasket to maintain an airtight connection may be damaged. Close all drains immediately after draining. Failure to close the drains may result in the inability to prime the pump during drafting operations.

Case History: Driver/operator candidates reading this chapter should understand that the design, production, and use of fire department pumping apparatus is an evolutionary process in which technological advances are introduced to the fire service. With the invention of the siphon pump used during Roman times to the advent of the first pieces of sewn leather fire hose in Holland during the late 1600s, fire fighting capabilities have advanced as better equipment and tactics have developed. Hand tub apparatus like the Newsham engine gave way to the horse drawn steam engine and finally motorized fire apparatus. While pumpers of a generation ago may have carried hose, a few ________, and {ground ladders}, the many configurations, special applications, and wide variety of equipment carried on modern pumpers are a direct result of adapting {evolving technology} to the expanding mission of the fire service. Pumping apparatus capable of supporting extrication or technical rescue incidents as well as providing scene lighting and electrical power are now commonly found in many jurisdictions. The driver/operator must often be proficient in the operation of many types of specialized equipment as well as safely driving the apparatus and operating the fire pump. Fire apparatus are classified according to the primary function for which they are designed. This chapter describes various types of apparatus that are equipped with a fire pump. Some of these vehicles feature additional systems such as aerial devices or rescue tool systems. The {fire department pumper} is the {core} unit of the fire service and is sometimes expected to fill several roles such as {rescue, hazardous materials (hazmat), or medical responses}.

Some other general safety principles to follow when using detachable ladder pipes are: • Only ________ firefighter at a time should be on the top fly of the aerial ladder when changing the stream pattern. Do not extend or retract the ladder while the firefighter is at the tip. • The driver/operator should avoid {sudden movement} or {surges} in pressure when using a ladder pipe. {Slowly elevate or lower the ladder pipe barrel} and {gradually increase} the nozzle pressure. • When shutting down the flow to the ladder pipe, it should be done slowly to avoid unnecessary stress on the aerial device. Sudden pressure changes produce reactions that may result in shock loading and ladder sway, with damaging results. • Always locate the supply hose in the {center} of the ladder and secure it with a {hose strap or other suitable means} (Figure 19.16). • Turn table movement should be {smooth and slow} when rotating the turntable to direct the ladder pipe stream in different directions. • Use the {75-80-80} guideline for quick ladder pipe use: {75 degree elevation, 80 percent extended length, and 80 psi (560 kPa) nozzle pressure for a 1 1⁄2-inch (38 mm) tip} (Figure 19.17). Use ladder pipes {perpendicular} to the rungs on older units, with a maximum lateral movement of {15} degrees to either side, if lateral movement is allowed. Many new models offer a {180} degree sweep. • Do not use a {hoseline and nozzle} strapped to a ladder as a ladder pipe. • Always follow specific operating guidelines that the aerial device manufacturer provides.

The in-line eductor uses the Venturi principle to draft foam concentrate into the water stream. When operating this system, several operating guidelines must be followed to achieve properly proportioned finished foam: • The flow in gallons per minute (L/min) through the eductor must NOT Exceed its rated capacity. • The quality of foam may decrease or the flow may stop altogether if the gpm (L/min) capacity of the eductor is exceeded. • The pressure at the discharge side of the eductor must NOT Exceed 70 percent of the eductor inlet pressure. This back pressure is determined by adding the nozzle pressure, friction loss in the hose between the eductor and the nozzle, and the elevation pressure. Excessive back pressure may result in no foam concentrate being inducted into the water. • The concentration of foam solution will only blend accurately if the inlet pressure at the eductor is correct (usually 150-200 psi [1 050-1 400 kPa]). • Inlet pressure that is too low will not create the Venturi effect necessary to pick up foam concentrate or may pick up too lean a mixture for suppression. • When inlet pressure is too high, the foam concentration may be too rich, rapidly depleting available resources. •Eductors must be properly maintained after each use in order to ensure readiness for the next incident. Use a bucket of water to immerse the foam pick up tube, letting it induct water for at least ________ minute (Figure 14.19). • {Metering valves} must be set to draw the correct percentage needed to develop the correct quality of foam for the fuel product. An incorrect setting may result in production of a {poor quality foam blanket}. • The foam concentrate inlet to the eductor should be no more than {six feet (2 m) above the liquid surface of the foam concentrate} (Figure 14.20, p. 496). If the inlet is too high, the foam concentration will either be {too lean or may not be inducted at all}. • {Viscosity}, or the thickness and ability of a liquid to flow freely, is affected by {temperature}.

Critical Procedures-Post Potential Exposure The following procedures must be followed immediately after a potential exposure occurs: The affected area must be washed thoroughly with soap and water or saline eye wash if the eyes are involved. The supervisor will contact the EMS Chief or designee immediately after a potential exposure has been identified for advice on the matter. If necessary, contact dispatch from the scene to alert the EMS Chief or designee. The District Officer should also be notified as soon as possible without delaying treatment. The District Officer will ensure all necessary injury forms are completed. If an employee ________ that they have had a potential exposure to a {bloodborne or airborne pathogen}, the {employee and supervisor with some assistance from the EMS Chief} or designee will complete the following as soon as possible:

perceives

When communicating we must also understand that other people may perceive the same words or events differently. As we project and receive ideas we filter them through our own individual perceptions of reality. We may perceive a threat from someone and become defensive, while in reality that person just wants us to see the situation through his or her eyes. An example of this is a car wreck at an intersection. Four people on a crew witness the same event. When they are individually asked what occurred immediately after it happened each person gives a slightly (and sometimes dramatically) different account of what they saw. These variances are due, in large part, to our differences in ________. Someone's perception of a conversation will influence the outcome of the exchange of ideas. With this in mind we need to choose our words carefully. We can increase our understanding of another's perception by asking the simple question, "{What do you think}?" By having a respect for individual differences in perception we can get beyond the immediate emotional reaction and meet the need.

If the aerial device cannot be moved immediately, water streams should be applied to the device to help keep it cool. When using water streams, the operator must be careful to not hit personnel operating at the tip of the device. Also, extreme care should be used if a master stream appliance is being used to cool the aerial device. A straight or solid stream could impose damaging forces on the aerial device, especially at the ________. NFPA® 1901 establishes flow requirements for elevating platforms equipped with {spray-curtain nozzles}. These nozzles provide a protective water curtain in the event of a high heat situation. A {foot pedal or valve on the floor} of the platform typically operates the {water-curtain nozzle}. Some older platform apparatus may not be equipped with water-curtain protection.

In a rotary vane pump, the rotor is mounted off center inside the housing. The distance between the rotor and the housing is much greater at the intake than at the discharge. The vanes are free to move within the slot where they are mounted. As the rotor turns, the vanes are forced against the housing by centrifugal force. When the surface of the vane that is in contact with the casing becomes worn, centrifugal force causes it to extend further, causing it to maintain a tight fit. This self-adjusting feature makes the rotary vane pump much more efficient at pumping air than a rotary gear pump. As the rotor turns, air is trapped between the rotor and the casing in the pockets formed by adjacent vanes. As the vanes turn, this pocket becomes smaller, which compresses the air and causes pressure to build up. This pocket becomes even smaller as the vanes progress toward the discharge opening. At this point the pressure reaches its maximum level, forcing the trapped air out of the pump. The air or water is prevented from returning to the intake by the close spacing of the rotor at that point (Figure 9.3). As in the rotary gear pump, the air being evacuated from the intake side reduces pressure, creating a vacuum. This forces water into the pump by atmospheric pressure until it fills with water. At this point, the pump is ________ and forces water out of the discharge in the same manner as air was forced out.

(high rise fire) Water Supply The Incident Commander will assign an engine company (typically the 4th Engine) to be responsible for the initial Fire Department Connection (FDC). After the water supply to the FDC has been established, the officer and firefighters shall report to the Command Post for further assignment (typically Lobby Control) After all lines are connected and the fire department pump is placed into ________, the driver shall open all appropriate discharge valves and supply the FDC with {hydrant water pressure only}. Initially, the fire department pump will act as a {backup to the building's pump}. If it is determined the building's pump is {not maintaining sufficient pressure for fire fighting operations}, the fire department pump will {IMMEDIATELY} assume {water supply responsibilities to the building's standpipe system}

Because the pressure outside the intake hose is higher than the pressure in the hose, water is forced in and continues to rise until the pump is full of water or the pressure within the pump and intake hose equals atmospheric pressure. The maximum height of the lift is affected by the angle of the intake hose, by the amount of negative pressure (vacuum) that the priming device can produce, and the existing atmospheric pressure. If the water does not rise to the level of the ________, drafting will not be possible.

Voice communication systems are used to permit fire fighters at the tip of the aerial device to communicate with the driver/operator at the aerial operator position. The system consists of a "hands-free" transmitter/receiver at the tip of the ladder or in the elevating platform and a transmitter/receiver at the aerial operator position. One transmitter/receiver may also be at the ________ (Figures 16.48 a and b). The transmitter/receiver at the {aerial operator position} does not have to be a hands-free type unit. These receivers are either {hard-wired or radio transceivers}.

NOTE: Table 10.2 shows the reasonable flow rates that may be assumed for various sized attack lines. Example 10.3 (Customary) A pumper connects to a hydrant that has a static pressure of 60 psi. When a 250 gpm handline is opened, the intake pressure drops to 52 psi. Determine how many more handlines flowing 250 gpm may be operated without lowing the residual pressure below 20 psi. Difference in psi = Static Pressure — Residual Pressure Difference in psi = 60 - 52 = 8 psi If a second 250 gpm line were added, the pressure drop would be as follows: Multiplication Factor = (Number of Lines)2 Multiplication Factor = 22 = 4 Resultant Pressure Drop in System at the New Flow Rate = (Multiplication Factor) x (Original Pressure Drop) Resultant Pressure Drop in System at the New Flow Rate = 4 x 8 = 32 psi If the pressure drop is 32 psi, the residual pressure in the system will be 28 psi. It would not be advisable to add a third hoseline under these conditions. Each time the flow rate is doubled, the pressure drop in the system is ________. This is a simple and valuable fact for a driver/operator to use when performing quick mental calculations on the fireground. Example 10.3 (Metric) A pumper connects to a hydrant that has a static pressure of 420 kPa. When a 1 000 L/min handline is opened, the intake pressure drops to 365 kPa. Determine how many more handlines flowing 1 000 L/min may be operated without lowing the residual pressure below 140 kPa. Difference in kPa = Static Pressure - Residual Pressure Difference in kPa = 420 - 365 = 55 kPa

High-capacity pumps require large impellers with waterways that present a minimum amount of opposition to the movement of water. Newton's Third Law of Physics states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The water in motion in the pump creates stress on the pump, its bearings, and other moving parts, as well as the casing mounted to the truck frame. To minimize the lateral thrust of large quantities of water entering the eye of the impeller, a double-suction impeller may be used. The double-suction impeller takes water in from both sides; the reaction of each side being equal and opposite cancels out the lateral thrust. It also provides a larger waterway for movement of water through the impeller. Because the impeller turns at a high rate of speed, a radial thrust is developed as the water is delivered to the discharge outlet. Stripping edges in the opposed discharge volutes divert the water into two streams that are 180 degrees apart. Water being removed at two places and traveling in opposite directions cancels the ________ thrust. This design provides a {hydraulically balanced} pump that {reduces stress on the pump and vehicle chassis, helping to lengthen the service life of the pump and apparatus}.

Aerial Apparatus Equipped with Fire Pumps Aerial apparatus equipped with a fire pump have additional benefits on the fireground including the ability to supply its own master streams and extinguish small fires when an engine company is not available. Depending on the tactical requirements of a given incident, the apparatus may function with the capabilities of an engine or a ladder company. This flexibility may provide more options for Incident Commanders. These apparatus should always be positioned with consideration of the reach of the aerial device. Hoselines may be lengthened and stretched around corners, but the aerial device is limited in its ________.

Passing Other Vehicles Generally, it is best to avoid passing vehicles that do not pull over to yield to fire apparatus. In some instances, the driver/operator will need to pass. Be prepared to do this in the safest manner possible. Use the following guidelines to ensure safety: Always travel on the inner most lane(fast lane) on multi lane roads. Wait for vehicles in front of the apparatus to move to the right before passing. Avoid passing vehicles on the right side because drivers normally move to the right upon the approach of emergency vehicles. Be certain that opposing lanes of traffic are clear before crossing the center line. Avoid passing other emergency vehicles if at all possible. However, in some cases, it may be desirable for smaller, faster vehicles such as a chief's car to pass a larger, slower vehicle such as a mobile water supply apparatus. The drivers should coordinate these maneuvers by radio, with the slower apparatus pulling to the ________ to allow the faster vehicle to pass.

Once a suitable drafting site has been chosen, the driver/operator should move the apparatus toward that position. Use the following steps for connecting to the pump: • Place the apparatus directly at the location from which the intake hose may be deployed. • Set the parking brake and chock the wheels when the final position has been achieved. • Follow local policies regarding the placement of traffic control devices or use of warning lights if the draft site is close to a roadway. • Do not engage the pump until all connections are made, and it is ready to be put into operation. • Park the vehicle short of the final drafting spot if the area around the actual drafting spot is limited as the intake hose and strainer are connected to the apparatus. Once they are connected, the driver/operator may slowly position the pumper at the final drafting point while other firefighters carry the hose and strainer, placing them in the desired position. • Inspect the gaskets to be sure that they are in place and no dirt or gravel has accumulated inside the coupling. The strainer and the required lengths of intake hose must then be coupled and made airtight. • Place each section of hose in line with the other before the coupling is turned. If the gaskets are in good condition and the coupling is connected properly, it should be possible to achieve an airtight connection with the couplings hand tight. • Use, if necessary, a rubber mallet to make the connections tighter. Enough personnel must be available to connect the intake hose without placing it on the ground, as dirt may lodge in the couplings. • Fasten a ________ to the end of the strainer to aid in the {handling of the hose and proper positioning of the strainer} (Figure 10.22). Once the sections of intake hose are connected to the strainer, it is usually easier to connect the hose to the intake fittings by first {putting the strainer into the water}, then placing the apparatus into position. If an older, {butterfly-type} intake valve is normally connected to the pump intake, it is often removed before connecting the intake hose to the apparatus as this valve obstructs the waterway, reducing drafting capacity. Newer butterfly valves are {less obtrusive}, and keeping the valve in place will prevent the pump from draining which would make priming more time consuming.

The following are guidelines to observe when completing operational inspections: • Pre-power transfer procedures differ by manufacturer and device type. Refer to the operator's manual for your specific apparatus (Some require front axle locks and specific cab control sequences, etc.). • If the truck begins to lean toward one side or the other after the stabilizers have been deployed for a while, there may be a leak in the system. Stop the inspection, report the leak, and repair it immediately. • Some apparatus automatically transfer to aerial mode once the stabilizers have been properly set. • Only experienced driver/operators should be allowed to rotate the aerial device while extending the device. Perform these actions ________ during inspections. • When stowing the apparatus' components after the inspection, reverse the steps followed to deploy the components. All indicator devices should {go out} when the appropriate systems are {deenergized}. • When testing the {emergency power unit (EPU}), the {main hydraulic system} should be {disengaged} and a control valve must be {open} before turning on the pump to prevent {deadheading} (Figure 16.59).

To protect personnel and victims, a safe zone must be established around a roadway incident. There are numerous ways to re-direct and control traffic around an incident scene. Fire apparatus are often placed to act as a ________ between oncoming traffic and firefighters working in the roadway (Figure 4.19, p. 152). There are other traffic control devices that may be used in conjunction with apparatus or police vehicles; including {traffic cones and signs}. Driver/operators should be aware of local policies regarding positioning of apparatus and traffic control measures for incidents along roadways. All firefighters must exercise extreme caution when exiting the apparatus. Firefighters of the first-arriving apparatus may be in a dangerous position with traffic continuing to flow as they {step off the vehicle}. Similarly, the driver/operator must exercise care when stepping beyond the protection {offered by the tailboard of a properly placed apparatus}. Some juris-dictions specify the use of {top mounted pump panels} for units that respond to numerous highway incidents. Apparatus equipped with side mounted pump panels should position {facing} the incident scene, if at all possible, so that the driver/operator at the pump panel controls has a view of the incident scene.

The treatment of water for the water supply system is a vital process (Figure 5.18). Water is treated to remove contaminants that may be detrimental to the health of those who use or drink it. Water may be treated by coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, or the addition of chemicals, bacteria, or other organisms. In addition to removing things from the water, fluoride or ozone may be added, for example. The fire department's main concern regarding treatment facilities are that a maintenance failure, a natural disaster, the loss of power supply, or a fire could disable the pumping station(s) or severely hamper the purification process. Any of these situations would drastically reduce the volume and pressure of water available for fire fighting operations. Another problem would be the inability of the treatment system to process water fast enough to meet the demand. In either case, fire officials must have a plan to deal with potential ________.

shortfalls

As new apparatus are being designed, detachable ladder pipes and appliances are being used less frequently. However, many are still in use and will be for some years to come. Detachable ladder pipes should be operated from the turntable or ground level using ropes that are attached to the nozzle (Figure 19.15). These ropes allow the nozzle to be raised and lowered as needed. It will still be necessary for a firefighter to climb the ladder and manually change the stream pattern if desired. If this is necessary, the firefighter (wearing full personal protective clothing and an SCBA) should climb to the tip of the ladder, attach to the ladder using an approved safety ladder belt, change the stream, and then immediately descend the ladder. An even better choice would be to ________ the water flow before the firefighter ascends the ladder.

TIRE CABLES / CHAINS UPDATED 1. Lay tire cables out directly in front of, or rear of, drive wheels. Carefully inspect each cable and remove any twists in the cross cable. Driving on cables with twisted links causes the majority of prematurely broken cross cables. Make sure cross cable hooks are facing outward (curved portion of hook faces away from tire sidewall) 2. Drive vehicle onto cables, or jack up wheels and place extended cables under tires Connect side cable end hooks to that link of side cable that provides tightest fit. (Always connect the inside speed hook first.) 3. Tie back with wire any extra side chain to avoid damage to fenders 4. Do not exceed 30 mph when driving on tire cables. Cable wear is in direct proportion to speed driven 5. After each run, retighten side cables. There will be ________ that will cause fast wear and cross cable breakage unless tightened 6. When accelerating, {start slowly to avoid spinning the wheels} 7. Do not drive on {bare pavement unless absolutely necessary}, and only at a {minimum speed} 8. Repair of broken or worn chains: Due to the numerous calls for repair of tire cables during icy road conditions, {it is impossible for the Maintenance Center to send a mechanic to the stations immediately to pick up damaged tire cables}. Therefore, if you need tire cables repaired, make arrangements for your {district officer} to bring them to the {Maintenance Center} for repair or call the {Maintenance Center}, and make arrangements with the {shop foreman} to have tire cables picked up and repaired

The main uses of aerial ladders are rescue, ventilation, elevated master stream application, and gaining access to upper levels of an emergency scene. Aerial ladders are also an excellent resource for exposure protection and aboveground fire fighting. It is also common to use an aerial device to access lower floors or rescue areas, when expediency or safety is a factor. To accomplish these objectives, aerial ladder apparatus carry ground ladders, tools, and other equipment, along with a crew of firefighters. The aerial ladder may be mounted on either a two or three-axle, single chassis vehicle or on a tractor-drawn type vehicle (Figures 16.18 a-c. p. 554). The single chassis vehicle may be equipped with dual rear wheels and is shorter than the tractor-trailer vehicle. Some apparatus come equipped with a rear axle that can be ________. Because of the {heavier weights} carried on single chassis aerial devices, {tandem front steer axles} are currently entering the market.

When we embarked on writing The Oklahoma City Standard: The Philosophy Statement of The Oklahoma City Fire Department, it was with the desire to provide an anchor to who we are as firefighters. Firefighting as a profession is ________ in nature, yet everything we do happens within the context of {relationships} - with our citizens, our families, fellow firefighters, and other public safety professionals and public officials. While our operations are guided by procedures, those procedures are carried by the under current of these relationships. During training classes in the early 1980's, I realized firefighters were looking for that current. By teaching standard operating procedures we were teaching the "law," but the "spirit" of the law was missing. Firefighters were left to their own devices to get a sense of that spirit from others in a position of leadership and from their own experiences in the fire service. This, however, still did not provide for a unified teaching or guarantee a positive one.

The following guidelines should be observed when conducting the inspections described in the skill sheet: • Since the tiller axle is a steering axle, steering wheel free play must not exceed 2" on a 20" wheel (50 mm on a 500 mm wheel) or 10 degrees on any other sized steering wheel. Because of the location of the tiller cab in relation to the tiller axle, most steering systems have multiple steering linkage assemblies requiring inspection. • Most tiller steering systems can be locked in the straight ahead position by the use of a device such as a lever or pin. This is used so that a single driver in the front cab is transporting the apparatus for maintenance, training or other nonemergency purpose. The tiller operator should inspect the lock system to ensure that it is not engaged before leaving the station. • Unlike tractor suspension systems, most tiller systems have air bag suspensions that require additional attention during inspections. • All tractor drawn aerials have permanently mounted coupling systems attaching the "trailer" to the "________" power unit. Since it is the {articulation} point for the apparatus, {insufficient lubrication} will result in the {coupling system binding creating difficulty in steering control} (Figure 16.55)

A pumping apparatus driver/operator may encounter a scenario where an aerial apparatus is providing an elevated waterway at an emergency scene. When supplying an elevated waterway, such as an elevated master stream or elevated standpipe, the driver/operator will have to consider pressure loss in the aerial device when determining total pressure loss calculations. In an aerial device, the water must navigate several bends in the aerial piping. It is these bends that cause pressure loss due to the ________ that is created as the water forcefully makes its way through the piping. For the purpose of this manual, when considering pressure loss in an elevated waterway, assume a loss of {25} psi (175 kPa) for the {waterway and master stream appliance}.

High-capacity pumps require large impellers with waterways that present a minimum amount of opposition to the movement of water. Newton's Third Law of Physics states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The water in motion in the pump creates stress on the pump, its bearings, and other moving parts, as well as the casing mounted to the truck frame. To minimize the lateral thrust of large quantities of water entering the eye of the impeller, a double-suction impeller may be used. The double-suction impeller takes water in from both sides; the reaction of each side being equal and opposite cancels out the lateral thrust. It also provides a larger waterway for movement of water through the impeller. Because the impeller turns at a high rate of speed, a radial thrust is developed as the water is delivered to the discharge outlet. Stripping edges in the opposed discharge volutes divert the water into ________ that are {180} degrees apart. Water being removed at {two} places and traveling in {opposite} directions cancels the {radial} thrust. This design provides a {hydraulically balanced} pump that {reduces stress on the pump and vehicle chassis, helping to lengthen the service life of the pump and apparatus}.

Good Jackknifing — Condition of truck tractor/semitrailer combination when their relative positions to each other form an angle of 90 degrees or less about the trailer kingpin, such as turning the tractor portion of a tractor-tiller aerial apparatus at an angle from the trailer to increase stability when the aerial device is being used. stability occurs at angles ________ {Beyond 90°} stability {decreases rapidly} (Figure 17.14). The driver/operator must be familiar with the manufacturer's recommendations for that particular apparatus. Modern tillered apparatus may have stabilizer systems that allow them to be adequately stabilized {without jackknifing}. However, even those apparatus become {more stable} when the apparatus is jackknifed.

Control valves in public water distribution systems are generally gate valves. Gate valves may be of the rising stem or the non-rising-stem type. The rising-stem type is similar to the OS&Y valve. On the non-rising-stem type, the gate either rises or lowers to control the water flow as the ________ is turned by the {valve key (wrench).} Non-rising-stem gate valves should be marked with a number indicating the {number of turns necessary to completely close the valve}. If a valve resists turning after fewer than the indicated number of turns, it usually means {debris or other obstructions} are in the valve, or it may be {corroded due to lack of maintenance}. This condition should be reported to the {agency responsible for maintaining the system}. The advantages of proper valve installation in a distribution system are readily apparent. If valves are installed according to established standards, it normally will be necessary to close off {only one or perhaps two} fire hydrants from service while a single break is being repaired.

NOTE: In order to develop the revolutions per minute (rpms) required for full use of the pump, the transmission must be placed in the correct gear, based on the manufacturer's recommendation. A centrifugal pump contains an impeller assembly with the impeller, shaft, and seals. The impeller transmits energy in the form of ________ to the water. The pump casing {houses the impeller assembly, collects the water, and confines it in order to convert the velocity to pressure}. Then, the casing directs the water to the discharge opening of the pump. The speed at which the impeller rotates is a ratio based upon the {power train configuration}. Water is introduced from the intake into the eye of the impeller. The volume capacity of the pump is dictated by the {size of the impeller}. A larger impeller has a {larger eye}, allowing greater flow capacity. As the water comes into contact with the vanes of the impeller, it is thrown by centrifugal force to the outside of the impeller. This water is confined in its travel by the {shrouds} of the impeller, which increase the velocity for a {given speed of rotation}. The off-center mounting of the impeller within the casing creates a {water passage of gradually increasing size} as it nears the discharge outlet of the pump. This section of the pump is called the {volute}. The increasing size of the volute is necessary because the volume of water passing through it increases as it nears the discharge outlet. This gradual increasing of size reduces the velocity of the water, enabling the pressure to build up {proportionately}.

The power may be needed to operate pumps or other equipment that, if stopped, would cause additional damage to the building or to any materials being produced in it. Also, fire fighters may be aided by having lights available as well as having any elevators operating for firefighting and evacuation purposes. Once a fire company shuts off any power, the electric company may require the Fire Marshal's approval and an inspection certificate from an authorized Electrical Inspection Agency before turning the power back on. Nevertheless, whenever safe firefighting requires the power to be shut off, use whichever of the following actions is appropriate and necessary : 1. REMOVE FUSES OR OPEN CIRCUIT BREAKERS to shut off the affected section 2. OPEN MAIN SWITCH to shut off entire building when electric service is no longer useful. If you must stand in water or if the switch is wet, do not grasp the switch handle in the palm of your hand.

Early pumps used by the fire service were hand-operated piston pumps. To supply water under pressure, a handle was pumped operating a piston in a cylinder, forcing water out of the pump. Rotary pumps followed, using a hand crank to rotate a gear, forcing water through the pump and hoses. Single and double action piston pumps of various diameters and strokes replaced rotary pumps. These types of pumps are referred to as positive displacement pumps. Positive displacement pumps are self-priming, deliver a definite volume of ________, and {exhaust air from the pump and deliver water}. These pumps are "{constant flow machines}" in that they produce the same flow at a given speed regardless of discharge pressure. All the {air and water} are forced out of the pump with each {operating cycle}. Modern fire apparatus continue to have a {form of positive pressure pump (priming pump)} connected to the main fire pump in order to allow the apparatus to use {static water sources}.

In some cases, the aerial apparatus may be required to position on and operate from a bridge or overpass. This most commonly occurs when a large fire of some type or rescue operation occurs next to a bridge. In these cases, the Incident Commander may determine that it is tactically important to deploy elevated master streams or rescue equipment from the bridge side of the incident. The following guidelines should be used in these situations: • Be sure that the bridge has a load capacity that is safe for the apparatus to drive on and operate from. • If multiple apparatus must work on a bridge, do not park or operate all apparatus on the same span. The combined static load of all apparatus may exceed its design limitations. Instead, stagger apparatus in different traffic lanes without parking side-by-side. • Be sure the road surface upon which the apparatus is parked is in good repair. Avoid ________ that might allow a stabilizer to punch through the {bridge decking}. • Follow the principles discussed earlier in this chapter for setting up the aerial apparatus on an incline if the bridge has a significantly sloped road surface. • Use caution when raising the aerial device if the bridge has a {superstructure} above the road surface. If electric lines are present, allow the standard {10} foot (3 m) safety distance from the lines. • Be alert for {wind conditions} on top of a large bridge. It may be necessary to use high-wind operating principles for the aerial device. Wind conditions may be more severe here than on either side of the access to the bridge. • Recognize that most large bridges are designed to {move somewhat} in response to forces placed upon them by {wind, traffic, and water movement below}. This movement will be {somewhat amplified} at the {tip of a raised aerial device}, depending on the type and intensity of the force. {High winds} will further affect the movement of the aerial device. When this movement becomes {uncomfortable for firefighters or begins to place excessive lateral stress on the aerial device}, {minimize the extension} of the device as much as possible. • Remember that {bridges and elevated sections of roads} will be the first road surfaces to {freeze during cold weather}. This can pose serious travel and positioning hazards.

The majority of incidents to which many fire departments respond are emergency medical calls. The driver/operator and the fire apparatus itself can have a major impact on the safety of these incidents by choosing the best position for personnel safety as well as tactical deployment. An important consideration when positioning the fire apparatus is to leave the ambulance enough room for patient loading and protection of the firefighters who may be working on a street or highway. The policy of some jurisdictions require that fire apparatus and EMS vehicles park off the street or highway whenever possible, shutting off all emergency warning lights. Where practical, this practice virtually eliminates hazards from oncoming traffic. When attempting to position the apparatus in a driveway, lot, or yard, make sure that the surface is stable enough to support the weight of the vehicle. When an incident requires the driver/operator to position the apparatus in a street or highway, use the vehicle as a shield between the ________ and {oncoming traffic}. Place {larger apparatus (pumpers)} between the flow of traffic and smaller vehicles (ambulances). Use {traffic cones or other traffic control devices} when possible to {warn} drivers of the incident before {they drive upon it}. The proximity of the {exhaust discharge} from parked apparatus should be considered relative to the location of patients being {extricated or treated} nearby.
