Q

WHAT SIZE MAIN MUST A HYDRANT BE ON IF IT WERE TO BE USED FOR INLINE PUMPING?

A

•6 INCH MAIN OR LARGER

Hydrant selected for ILP must be on a 6” or larger main. During Water Alert, ILP shall not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Q

WHAT IS THE MAX AMOUNT OF 3 1/2” SUPPLY LINE THAT CAN BE USED IN IN LINE PUMPING?

A

•NO MORE THAN 6 LENGTHS

Not more than 6 lengths of hose shall be used in the initial supply line.

16
Q

A PUMPER HAS STRETCHED LINES USING THE INLINE PUMPING METHOD, AT WHAT PSI IN THE PUMPERS INTAKE PRESSURE GUAGE SHALL CAUSE THAT PUMPER TO BE AUGMENTED?

A

•INTAKE PRESSURE DROPS BELOW 15 PSI

When intake pressure drops below 15 psi, the pump operator shall have his intake supply augmented.

17
Q

HOW MANY LENGTHS OF 3 1/2” HOSE MAY BE HAND STRETCHED BACK TO THE HYDRANT?

A

•MAX OF 3 LENGTHS HAND STRETCHED BACK TO HYDRANT

  1. Pumper may proceed to the operating position, stopping only to drop the Hydrant FF off for testing the hydrant. Generally, a maximum of 3 lengths of 3½” supply line may be hand stretched back to this hydrant if necessary.
18
Q

THE ECC OF A PUMPER THAT IS PERFORMING INLINE PUMPING SHALL HAVE THE RIG AUGMENTED WHEN INTAKE PRESSURE DROPS BELOW 15 PSI. LIST THE OPTIONS FOR AUGMENTATION:

A
  • Hand stretching 3½” hose to another hydrant.
  • Hand stretching 2½” hose to the same hydrant using the 2½” gate.
  • Hand stretching 3½” hose to a second pumper at a hydrant. (Relay)
  • The 2nd pumper back stretching one or two lines from the first pumper to a hydrant, and either Relaying water or In – Lining from that hydrant.
  • A 2nd pumper stretching 3½” hose from the hydrant to the pumper and then either In – Lining or Relaying.
  • Another ILP pumper stretching 3½” hose into a gated supply intake of first ILP pumper. (Relay) (2½” hose may only be used for Relay if absolutely necessary).
  • 2nd pumper hand stretches 3½” hose from their apparatus at a hydrant to the 1st pumper. (Relay)
19
Q

WHAT DOES 1 BUZZER FROM THE BACKSTEP DURING IN LINE PUMPING OPERATIONS MEAN?

A

•EMERGENCY STOP

The following signals shall be sent from back step buzzer:

One buzzer tone ———–Emergency stop.

Two buzzer tones ———Hose FF is in position, pumper to proceed.

Three buzzer tones ——–Area to rear of pumper is clear for backing up operations and under proper supervision.

20
Q

WHAT DOES 2 BUZZERS FROM THE BACK STEP DURING IN LINE PUMPING MEAN?

A

•HOSE FF IN POSITION, PUMPER TO PROCEED

The following signals shall be sent from back step buzzer:

One buzzer tone ———–Emergency stop.

Two buzzer tones ———Hose FF is in position, pumper to proceed.

Three buzzer tones ——–Area to rear of pumper is clear for backing up operations and under proper supervision.

21
Q

WHAT DOES 3 BUZZER TONES FROM THE BACK STEP OF A PUMPER DURING IN-LINE PUMPING OPS MEAN?

A

•AREA TO REAR IS CLEAR FOR BACKING UP

The following signals shall be sent from back step buzzer:

One buzzer tone ———–Emergency stop.

Two buzzer tones ———Hose FF is in position, pumper to proceed.

Three buzzer tones ——–Area to rear of pumper is clear for backing up operations and under proper supervision.

22
Q

WHAT IS A MAJOR FACTOR IN IN-LINE PUMPING OPS?

A

•CAPACITY OF THE HYDRANT

  1. The capacity of a hydrant is a major factor in “In-line pumping” operations.
23
Q

WHAT MUST ECC’S CHECK PRIOR TO STARTING WATER DURING IN-LINE PUMPING OPS?

A

•INITAL INTAKE PRESSURE

  1. ECCs must check their initial intake pressure is static prior to starting water during ILP operations and anticipate when their initial intake pressure is low, (30 – 40 psi), that their residual pressure may not be capable of safely sustaining 2 handlines. The need for augmentation should be anticipated based on the initial intake pressure.
24
Q

IN A 4 FF ENGINE, WHEN PERFORMING IN-LINE PUMPING PROCEDURES WHICH TWO FF’S ASSUME THE POSITIONS OF:

  • HOSE FF-
  • HYDRANT FF-
A

4 FF ENGINE: IN-LINE PUMPING POSITIONS

HOSE FF- BACK UP FF

HYDRANT FF- CONTROL FF

25
Q

IN A 5 FF ENGINE, WHEN PERFORMING IN-LINE PUMPING PROCEDURES WHICH TWO FF’S ASSUME THE POSITIONS OF:

  • HOSE FF-
  • HYDRANT FF-
A

5 FF ENGINE: IN-LINE PUMPING POSITIONS

HOSE FF- DOOR FF

HYDRANT FF- CONTROL FF

26
Q

IN A 5 FF ENGINE, IF THE ENGINE IS PERFORMING IN-LINE PUMPING PROCEDURES, WHO WILL CONTROL THE STRETCH UNTIL THE CONTROL MAN (HYDRANT FF) MAKES IT BACK TO THE BACKSTEP?

A

•DOOR FF

Depending on staffing, the initial handline stretch will be controlled by either the Door FF (5 FF Engine) or the ECC (4 FF Engine), until relieved by the Control FF (Hydrant Firefighter).

27
Q

IN A 4 FF ENGINE, IF THE ENGINE IS PERFORMING IN-LINE PUMPING PROCEDURES, WHO WILL CONTROL THE STRETCH UNTIL THE CONTROL MAN (HYDRANT FF) MAKES IT BACK TO THE BACKSTEP?

A

•ECC

Depending on staffing, the initial handline stretch will be controlled by either the Door FF (5 FF Engine) or the ECC (4 FF Engine), until relieved by the Control FF (Hydrant Firefighter).

28
Q

IF AN ECC PERFORMING IN-LINE PUMPING PROCEDURES NEEDS TO BE AUGMENTED, WHO MUST HE NOTIFY?

A
  • IC
  • INCOMING ENGINE COMPANIES

ECC notifies the Incident Commander and incoming Engine Companies when the necessity exists for the ILP pumper to be augmented
