Q

What is End of Service Time Indicators? (EOSTI)

A

All department harnesses are equipped with two independent low-air notification systems. The Vibralert is a gentle tapping created within the regulator assembly that vibrates the SCBA mask. A secondary low-air indicator is in the form of the HUD air monitoring system, as described in the Mask-Mounted Regulator Assembly section of this manual. This indicator will activate in conjunction with the Vibralert system. These low air indicators activate when approximately 33% (1800 psi) of air pressure remains in the cylinder or if a malfunction occurs in the high-pressure reducer

LIQUID SPILL FIRES AND TANKER FIRES - LIQUID ESCAPING FROM CARGO TANK:

A

With fires involving large quantities of hydrocarbon products, depending on the location, it may
be more advantageous to take a defensive action and let the fire burn out or burn until the
resources are available to combat the incident. However, in any case, the following actions
are recommended if a fire attack is chosen.
— Halt responding apparatus uphill of incident. Place foam lines into service to control the
spill fire, (EOM 507.01). DO NOT USE WATER UNLESS IT IS TO PERFORM A
RESCUE OR UNLESS YOU CAN FLUSH THE FIRE INTO AN ISOLATED AREA.
— Enough foam should be available to operate for at least 10 minutes of solid foam
application on a hydrocarbon spill fire. This will necessitate a mutual aid request for
foam.
— Make the initial attack from the sides of the tank.
— Enough foam concentrate should be on scene before attempting to fight a liquid spill fire
from a gasoline tank truck. Remember, these trucks may contain up to 9,000 gallons of
fuel. Extinguishment should not be started unless the resources are on scene.
