Select one:
a. Pressure alerts or flow alerts are not a direct indication of an unsafe condition
b. If the pressure reading on the gauge is normal, and the water flow is reduced below normal, he should suspect a burst length
c. An effective firefighting stream for a 2 ½” hoseline with a 1 1/8” MST is approximately 200 gallons per minute
d. If the gauge fails to display any readings after two attempts to start it, the gauge must be removed from the standpipe outlet as water flow will be impacted
A
(TB Tools 36 — 3.1, 4.1) Between 225 and 250 (GPM), If the Gauge fails to display any readings after two attempts the control firefighter shall verify with their officer that the nozzle team is receiving proper pressure and flow. Since the Gauge does not regulate water flow, hoseline operations can continue without the display functioning properly.
The correct answer is: Pressure alerts or flow alerts are not a direct indication of an unsafe condition
