Eng Ops Ch4 7.7.8 If fire on exterior between 2 bldgs and unclear which is original bldg the first HL may need to operate on the exterior. How is this done? 7.8 If operating a hoseline into a window, how is it done?
Start at highest point of fire first. Move down to fire base to determine which bldg (if any) fire is extending. Window: -Members inside go to safe area PRIOR to water application. -Operate stream at steep angle bringing nozzle team close to bldg. -Aim toward ceiling, fully open nozzle and hold still. DO NOT whip or circulate. -After the above aim at top of window opening (Lintel). -Exterior HL only used long enough to visually see improvment. Normally ~10secs. (Exterior HL MUST be coordinated with interior HL advancement. If no other HL avail the exterior HL gets repositioned to interior as soon as knock down is sufficient)

Eng Ops Ch9 LCS LCS are defined as? Supply with what HL? Ch6 2.7.9 Two types of techniques for the nozzle team are “flow and move” and “stop and flow”. When should “stop and flow” not be used?
LCS deliver at least 350gpm. Supply with largest avail HL, most commonly 3 1/2”. ONLY IC may order, can be 1st due Eng OFF. (Open all valves and gates slowly, a rig supplying LCS should be dedicated to the LCS and may need to be augmented). “Stop and flow” NOT used when heavy fire or high heat. (S and F is the primary technique for 2 1/2” HL. Partial close and move in then flow from stationary spot)
687
Eng Ops Ch7. 9 When stretching a HL up an aerial how is it done?
-Officer goes up first, Nozzle FF puts hose under left arm and nozzle over right shoulder. HL is kept on the left side of the aerial. BU FF follows up, control stays on ground until relief by another member (2nd due). Once the Nozz FF is pulling hose up onto the roof or into the bldg the members on the aerial clip their personal harness on the rung and help feed HL. Once all members are off the aerial the Officer can call for water. If operating a HL from the aerial all members must be clipped in and a hose strap tied to the aerial by the nozzle FF. (Difference for portable ladder= the Nozzle is carried in the left hand, when stretching a dry line up a portable the BU FF stays on the ground and feeds it up. If the nozzle FF is to operate from the portable ladder he must clip his PH in AND the ladder must be secured at the base).

Eng Ops ch8 3.4 When a building is part of interconnected building system. One building will have gravity tank which supplies water to that building and the other interconnected buildings. These interconnected buildings have _______. 3.8.2 If the ECC is supplying the first floor outlet and a pressure reducing device (PRD) is found on the floor outlet what should he do? What’s in the ECC standpipe kit? 3.9.4 When the fire is on the _________ of a bldg insufficient pressure from the gravity tank.
- Have a Post Indicator Valve (PIV). PIV should be open, if found closed ECC tells ENG OFF. If PIV is closed this means the building is isolated from gravity tank and will only have residual water that is in the pipe. ECC needs to supply the building. - Remove it. If he cannot remove it he can still use the outlet. *As long as sufficient water can be supplied* Tell Eng OFF - (Company Commander decides if kit is needed) “F-SPAC” - Fittings necessary - Spanners - Pipe wrench - Adapters - Chocks Upper 20 floors.
689
Eng Ops Ch8 3.9.20 A dry standpipe should be initially supplied in? If a PRV (pressure reducing valve) is found you WILL NOT be able to remove it. A PRV is there to supply correct pressure to the floor on which located under operation of building fire pump. What is done if a member encounters a PRV? (Consider using a lead 2 1/2” instead of 2” because of PRV) Who does the Control FF communicate with the determine if the pressure is correct?
- Initially in Idle and supply slowly. - PRV= you can operate using it. Sufficient pressure at the outlet is expected. Just tell Eng OFF. - Eng OFF.
690
Eng Ops Ch8 5.3 Standpipe psi given by Control FF: - Residential 3 lengths? - Commercial or Residential (ALL 2 1/2”)? - Additional lengths add how much psi and for each floor?
- Residential 3 lengths means 2’ lead length with 1” nozzle and two 2 1/2” so 5psi for each other the 2 1/2” HL’s + 10psi for 2” lead HL + 55psi for the 1” nozzle + 5psi for elevation= 80psi. - Commercial or Residential (ALL 2 1/2” with 1 1/8” tip) 15psi for the three 2 1/2’” + 50psi for the 1 1/8” tip + 5psi for elevation= 70psi. - 5psi for each 2 1/2” added and for each floor. (The Control FF should know that a properly supplied HL may exceed the hi-flow alarm (250gpm) on the digital gauge. Does not indicate a problem, if that exists communicate to engine officer to confirm pressure.)
691
Eng Ops Ch8 7.7.3 If a 3rd HL needs to be stretched and the floor outlet is located in an enclosed stair what may be considered? 8.4 When can a HL be used to remove smoke and heat?
- May consider hooking up on the original fire floor. Approval from IC or Sector Supervisor. - Remove smoke and heat only done well after fully extinguished. Use fog nozzle or take MST off and partially open nozzle.
