In the late 1890s, John R. Freeman1 conducted experi- ments designed to define what a good solid stream is. He came up with four requirements that are still used today: Figure 1. Laminar Flow A stream that has not lost its continuity by breaking into 1showers or a spray. A stream that shoots nine-tenths of the whole volume of 2 water inside a 15-inch-diameter circle and three-fourths of its volume into a 10-inch-diameter circle at its break-over point. A stream stiff enough to attain, under fair conditions, the 3named height or distance, even through a breeze. A stream that, with no wind blowing, will enter a room Figure 2. Turbulent Flow 4 through a window and strike the ceiling with enough force to splatter well. These standards give a good foundation for building a good quality fire stream.2 DISCHARGE As we know, it is not the pressure of a stream that extin- guishes a fire but the amount of water in gpm that cools a fire.

  • Planning a Hose and Nozzle System for Effective Operations by Jay Comella, Lieutenant Oakland Fire Department
    By firefighters, for firefighters Firenuggets.com Planning a Hose and Nozzle System for Effective Operations By Jay Comella, Lieutenant Oakland Fire Department The Oakland (Calif.) Fire Department (OFD) convened a Board of Inquiry to investigate the line-of-duty- death of Firefighter Tracy Toomey, who died on January 10, 1999. The fire building at 3052 Broadway was a two-story, balloon-frame building of mixed occupancy, with a residential area over the commercial premises. It was not an unusual building for Oakland. On arrival, the first-alarm companies encountered a heavy fire condition on the first floor with extension up the stairway. They made an aggressive interior attack using multiple 1½-inch handlines. Fire was not extinguished in time to prevent the loss of structural integrity. The resulting collapse of the second floor into the first floor killed one OFD member and left two others with career-ending injuries. One of the three direct causes the Board of Inquiry report cited for the line-of- duty death was the inability of 1½-inch hose to flow sufficient water to extinguish the heavy volume of fire encountered. (1) Left to right: automatic nozzle (50-350 gpm), adjustable-gallonage nozzle (30-60- The report further recommended using 1¾-inch hose to 90-125 gpm @ 100 psi), constant-gallonage remedy insufficient fire flow volume of the 1½-inch hose. nozzle (150 gpm @ 50 psi), and 15/16-inch By simply upgrading from 1½-inch to 1¾-inch hose, the smooth-bore nozzle (180 gpm @ 50 psi). OFD could eliminate fully one-third of the direct causes (Photos by Daryl Liggins.) cited by the Board of Inquiry.

    Abandonment: Abandonment occurs when an emergency responder begins treatment of a patient and the leaves the patient or discontinues treatment prior to arrival of an equally or higher trained responder. Abrasion: A scrape or brush of the skin usually making it reddish in color and resulting in minor capillary bleeding. Absolute Pressure: The measurement of pressure, including atmospheric pressure. Measured in pound per square inch absolute. Absorption: A defensive method of controlling a spill by applying a material that absorbs the spilled material. Accelerant: Flammable fuel (often liquid) used by some arsonists to increase size or intensity of fire. Accelerator: A device to speed the operation of the dry sprinkler valve by detecting the decrease in air pressure resulting in acceleration of water flow to sprinkler heads. Accountability: The process of emergency responders (fire, police, emergency medical, etc...) checking in as being on-scene during an incident to an incident commander or accountability officer. Through the accountability system, each person is tracked throughout the incident until released from the scene by the incident commander or accountability officer. This is becoming a standard in the emergency services arena primarily for the safety of emergency personnel. Adapter: A device that adapts or changes one type of hose thread, type or size to another. It allows for connection of hoses and pipes of incompatible diameter, thread, or gender. May contain combinations, such as a double-female reducer. Adapters between multiple hoses are called wye, Siamese, or distributor. Administrative Warrant: An order issued by a magistrate that grants authority for fire personnel to enter private property for the purpose of conducting a fire prevention inspection or similar purpose.

  • Module 8: Water Use Topic 1
    Module 8: Water Use Topic 1: Introduction Module introduction Narration Script: Water can be a good friend on the fireline, and you’ll want to take care of that precious commodity and use it wisely. You may have to bring the water to the scene of the fire yourself using a backpack pump. Or, water or agents may be available from an engine or from another water source by way of a portable pump. In that case, you’ll be using hoses and nozzles to attack the flames. Hoses can make fire fighting easier, but you’ll need to be proficient at simple and progressive hose lays. And your choice of nozzle to put on the end of that hose will vary according to the fire environment you’re facing. If you’re thinking there’s a lot to learn about spraying water or foam on a fire, you’re right. That’s why it calls for an entire water delivery system. Module overview Spraying water or foam on a fire may seem like one of the more fun parts of wildland fire fighting. However, before the water comes out of the hose, there are some basics you’ll need to be familiar with, including the: • “Ins” and “outs” of backpack pumps • Tools of the trade—hose, nozzles, and hose-related equipment • Types of hose lays—simple and progressive • Hand signals specific to water use • Types of fire streams—fog and straight • Hose and equipment maintenance Narration Script: Water, water everywhere—well, that’s not exactly true on the fireline.
