a) Deploy a smoke curtain once a hose cabinet is secured
b) Hook into a hose cabinet on the floor below
c) Stretch the hose line in the stairwell, including up a flight of stairs, to use gravity to aid in
deploying the line into the hallway
d) All the above
d) All the above
S107 is supplying a horizontal standpipe at a fire. The hose lay is 60m of Hi vol to a triplex,
from the triplex there are 2 65mm lines each to a gated wye 30m in length. From the first gated wye is 60m of 45mm to 2 combination nozzles, and the 2 nd 65mm has a gated wye to 2 45mm hand lines of 90m, both having smooth bore nozzles. What is the pump pressure required to supply this hose lay?
a) 1375kpa
b) 1500kpa
c) 1325kpa
d) 1385kpa
c) 1325kpa
