Q

Emergency Button Activation

A

When activated, indicated radio I.D. And alias user ID that transmitted emergency.

  • IC will be notified of activation by dispatch; IC should request emergency “warble” tones then implement Mayday procedure.
  • non-fire incidents will result in dispatch asking “update our status”. Any other response other than “accidental activation” will result in code 3 response from PD.

Q

Foam Application Rate

A

Determines GPM flow needed to extinguish certain size flammable liquid spill

.10 GPM x fire per square foot (FSF)

.10 GPM = gallons per minute of foam solution needed per 1 square foot of fire

Ex: 1200 square foot spill on fire

.10 x 1200 = 120 GPM to extinguish fire

Q

Determining total amount of foam concentrate needed (FCN)

A

  • example: 3% foam concentrate x 120 GPM= 3.6 gallons of foam concentrate needed
    3. 6 gallons x 10 minutes = 36 total gallons

***maximum size for one eductor is 1200 sq. Ft.

Q

How a turbocharger works

A

Exhaust exiting the exhaust manifold spins a turbine that is connected by a rod to compressor turbine wheel. The compressor wheel spins, drawing in and compressing air. Air is then drawn through an inter cooler to cool the air (more available O2) before entering the intake manifold.

62
Q

Brake chamber function

A

Service side: when pedal is depressed, air is forced behind a diaphragm which in turn pushes the push rod. The push rod moves the slack adjuster rotating the S-cam in drum brakes or a “power screw” in disc brakes.

Parking/Emergency side: a large spring is held back by air in the parking side of the chamber. When the yellow knob is pulled, it allows air to escape the chamber and the large spring extends, mechanically pushing the push rod and holding the brakes.

A

Actual pressure of the water as it leaves the pump and enters the hose line; total amount of pressure being discharged by a pump. In mathematical terms, it is the pump intake pressure plus the net pump discharge pressure. Measured in PSI.

PDP=NP + Total Pressure Loss

88
Q

Equation for relay pumping (determine number of pumpers)

A

Total Friction Loss + or - Head Pressure
——————————————————
Max Pump Pressure (250) - Min Intake Pressure (20)

TFL + or - Head Pressure
————————————
230

89
Q

Reasons for relay pumping

A
  1. Water supply inadequate
  2. pressure requirements too much for one pumper
  3. pressure greater than hoselines can handle
  4. Distance between fire and supply is excessive
90
Q

Required flow equation for relay pumping

A

Required flow = friction loss + elevation + intake pressure(20)

91
Q

Determine available flow (GPM) in a hydrant

A

Determine percentage of drop between static and residual

<10% 3 more like flows

<15% 2 more like flows

<25% 1 more like flow

> 25% no more like flows

92
Q

Estimating static pressure

A

Note flowing pressure with one line flowing

Place another like flow into service and note the drop

Divide drop Pressure by 2 and add that number to original static pressure
