Water "Pushing" Fire

Recently there's been a lot of talk about water "pushing" fire. I want to know people's opinions and personal experiences of this phenomena. For instance, consider the following scenario:

-First in engine
-driver/officer on engine only
-Heavy fire showing from side alpha (side c allows access inside)

With a limited crew do you try to knock some of the fire down by stretching to side alpha and hitting it quickly from the exterior until additional crews arrive. Whether you would or not, do you b… Continue

look into student-firefighter live in programs. Several colleges/departments offer them across the U.S. and it is an awesome opportunity that lets you continue your academics during the day and go to fires at night. www.cpvfd.org

We simply have a binder with all of our apparatus in it. Each apparatus has an excel styled sheet set up with everyday of the month and equipment that we identify as needing to be checked everyday, usually at 3 p.m. when the career staffing leaves a…

My personal opinion, even if staffing is down, I'm going to get the apparatus out whether it jeopardizes my personal time or not. Granted, my department very rarely has staffing problems. Are you proposing that you not staff the ambulance certain da…

I've also seen nearly the opposite where these modulars come through with plywood behind interior wall sheetrock for trailering without cracking. This could be an issue if you expect to pull a through the wall maneuver. On the lack of exterior sheat…

One frustrating point of manufacturered homes, at least in our state, is the fact that they do not have to meet local code requirements as they meet a federal standard. This of course currently means no sprinklers in compliance with the last two edi…
