Robert,
Is your truck a Tower or a Heavy Ladder rig? Is your Medic lock down or can it's crew go to a working fir. I've got to tell you, 3 on a Truck is a really short crew for everything that Truckies do. If it's a tower with a waterway, you need...
Little help. If you know that you are going defensive and you know your resources better then us, what can we help you with?
Are you asking if we will go offensive on it or how we run the scene (water supply, staging, mutual aid, etc)?
Do you have a question list that you would like to provide or are you looking for a couple of paragraphs of our thoughts on the job?
75 to 100 question multiple guess on your SOPs, apparatus that your D/O will operate, quick pump operator questions dealing with; apparatus placement, friction loss, residual pressure, relay pumping and water supply. Anything that has tripped you ...
Congrats Todd!
You are going to love that thing. Bad news; if you hit class A with CAFS, it will NEVER relite. Bad for live burn training, good for response to class A fires. No rekindle. :-)
Send me your training plan when you are done with it. ...
How do you define "Engineer"?
Any department that is hiring will take an EMT-P as a first choice. I don't think that you would get extra credit for being a trigger puller, but the physical fitness and grace under pressure will look good in an interview.
Very best of luck in y...

Kirk Allen said… - It just hit me after sending you my last post. Was it you that requested some info from us on our Vinidcator nozzle? I am not in the office right now but I could have sworn we sent out some info to your department and we were going to set up a time for us to come out.

- unfortunatly Larry there is not. Bobby Halton and I have tried for years to get such information from the manufactures and all they could ever provide was therory and NFPA formulas. Snap-tit was the only one that provided measured fact based numbers and those were from the tests we did with them 15 years ago.
If you have a local fire equipment dealer they should surly be able to loan you a flow meter for testing but you will also need at least 2 inline pressure gagues.
Determine the gpm you want to test at, set your pressures so that the flow meter reflects that target gpm (calibrate flowmeter first), then you can look at the pressure gagues and have a fact based FL number.
We have found as much as 110psi of loss in a preconnect flowing 200gpm.
I have also found good 1 3'4" hose that had less FL than 2" even while flowing 50 more gpm.
If there is anything I can do to help just let me know.
Thanks
Kirk Allen

Shawn Tibbitts said… - Im hoping that question wont get me in trouble, I dont think it can but who knows. Im amazed how many depts are enforcing this bylaw recently and how little evidence I have found on people trying to fight it. I hope I didnt come off as a jerk not wanting peoples opinions on this topic, I was just afraid that if people voiced their opinions, what I was trying to find out would be lost in the battle. If I find any thing out I will let you know.
Take care

Brad Hoff said… - That's what I am afraid of with our face book page. I have been trying to get the chief to give me a yeah or neah and now the deputy is saying talk to the chief asap about it and it's been almost two months since I emailed the chief on it. It is nothing defamatory or anything it is a positive promoting the vol fd and for recruitment. Whatever he says will be the ruling, he's the boss.
