Evolution 5 Utilizing a Modified Angus Foam Cannon attatched to a satellite

Question 1

Connect a FIMM Pumper to a reliable water supply and charge pumps. When a FIMM Pumper is connected to a hydrant or to a supply from the domestic water system, what must be used?

Answer 1

2.1

The 4½” back flow prevention valve must be utilized.

Question 2

what tools and fittings are needed to attatch the Foam Cannon to the satellite monitor?

Answer 2

2.2
No Tools
Foam Cannon is attached to the Satellite’s monitor. The monitor tip is unthreaded and the modified foam cannon is threaded on. The monitor is not to be pointed towards the fire at this time.

Question 3

The FIMM Pumper is to supply the Satellite with foam solution through a ___ hose line. This line can be replaced with two ___ hose lines from the FIMM Pumper or from a manifold supplied from a FIMM Pumper.

Answer 3

2.3
5”
3½”

Question 4

If the pumper supplying the foam solution is a 1000 GPM pumper then the supply line(s) to the Satellite will be what size hose lines?

Answer 4

2.4

two 3½” hose lines.

Question 5

The foam concentrate should be delivered at a pressure that is __ PSI above hydrant pressure. This will prevent water from backing up into the foam carrier.

Answer 5

2.7
50 psi
If the foam carrier is downhill of the operation and the stretch is long, 50 PSI over hydrant pressure may not be enough to overcome the backpressure. Adjust pressure accordingly.

Question 6

In order to achieve the foam canons rated capacity of 1000 GPM, the FIMM Pumper will have to proportion 30 GPM of concentrate into the water supply. A 1000-gallon booster tank will last about 30 minutes educting at an approximate __% solution.

Answer 6

2.8

3%

Question 7

The Satellite can produce finished firefighting foam to a height of __’ and a distance of ___’.

Answer 7

2.11
80’
180’

Question 8

The Satellite also has two smaller apparatus mounted large capacity multiversals. If two Akron 500 GPM nozzles are attached to them, another 1000 GPM of finished firefighting foam could be produced. In order to successfully accomplish this, how many GPM needs to be supplied to the Satellite Apparatus?

Answer 8

2.12

A 2000 GPM water supply to the Satellite apparatus is necessary.
