Dry Barrel, 1000.
The green bonnet hydrant has a check-valve to allows water to be pumped into the hydrant and the interconnected water main, resulting in what?
Increasing water flow and pressure.
At each hydrant location is a storage cabinet secured with a cutaway lock containing what?
A 25ft 5in supply line with the couplings painted green to indicate use with the green bonnet hydrant, A mallet and a spare cutaway lock.
The first due engine shall proceed to the incident address. If the address is within ____ ft of the yellow bonnet hydrant, the company will utilize the ____ bonnet hydrant and lay a supply line to the incident address.
500, yellow.
The first due engine shall proceed to the incident address. If the address is further than ____ ft of the yellow bonnet hydrant, the company will utilize the ____ bonnet hydrant and lay a supply line to the incident address.
500, Green.

The _____ ____ to initiate the green bonnet hydrant system procedure shall be a primary consideration in implementing the IAP and associated tactics
Set-up time.
Where should the second and third due engine proceed to once they arrive on scene?
To their designated Green bonnet hydrant system locations.
What must the Engine companies do in order to access the contents of the green bonnet hydrant system storage cabinet?

Volume mode at no more than 110-115psi
What will happen if you over pump the hydrant system?
It will activate the internal relief valve and decrease the flow rate and water pressure.
Who has to get notified when the green bonnet hydrant system has been charged and is in operation?
IC
Residual pressure may fall as low as ___ psi in order to generate the necessary water pressure and flow rated for fire suppression when employing the green bonnet hydrant system.
