Q

What are the PPC cleaning requirements

A
  1. Dirty PPC —————————————————– jackets/over pants/flash hood/neck flaps/structural and rescue gloves- Where PPC is generally soiled but not contaminated, the PPC can be included with the general dry cleaning which is picked up twice weekly from all stations.-2. Contaminated PPC ——————————————————- Where PPC has been contaminated, the PPC needs to be bagged up in dissolvable stitching plastic bags. Found on all ACTF&R appliances within the Drager kit. - The bagged PPC needs to be tagged using the ‘Contaminated’ tags and completing the details as required.- The bagged and tagged PPC can then be included with the usual dry cleaning service or arranged to be priority dry cleaned as required. - Dry cleaning will be returned to the station it was collected from.3. Contaminated PPC (Infectious Waste)————————————————————- When instructed to, PPC which has been contaminated with infectious waste, and cannot be dry cleaned, is to be placed into the infectious waste bags, tagged using the ‘contaminated’ tags and then collected by Logistics 35 (ACTF&R ute). Note: During business hours delivered to ACT Health in Mitchell for destruction. Outside of business hours taken to Fyshwick fire station and placed in the infectious waste bin. This will then be delivered to Mitchell during the next available opportunity.Infectious waste bags are found on all ACTF&R appliances within the Drager kitStructural Firefighting Boots- After an operational incident, hosed down with water to remove contaminants. Regular cleaning with boot polish will help to maintain the water resistance ability and the integrity of the leather.Helmets - Contaminated Structural and Lightweight helmets and incorporated visors need to be brushed down. If required this needs to be followed by washing down with warm soapy water. Do Not use solvents off any kind as they may permanently damage the helmet.

Q

Method of bowling hoses

A

Objective: Carrying a rolled length of hose and bowling it, so it is ready for operational duties, connect one end to the Hydrant and one end to a branch.• Before rolling and bowling hose - consider safe working practices and manual handling techniques• Place the roll of hose on the ground with the couplings on top• Face the direction you wish to bowl the hose, ensure area is free from obstructions and will not be impede later operations• Releasing the strap, lay the couplings on the ground and roll out sufficient hose to allow the couplings to be lifted free from the coil• Grasp on the uncoiled section of hose, lift the coil to chest height, cradling the coil along the forearm• Take 1-2 steps forward and bowl the coil in the required direction (Try not to bowl uphill). Bend the knees and bowl the hose close to the ground• As the hose rolls out, flick the hose to add momentum to the coil and allow the hose to fully unwind

Q

Name and describe the 3 Mains

A

A main is an access point to a reticulated supply of water 1. Trunk main - 600mm to 3000mm- Delivers water from source to treatment plants then onto reservoirs 2. Service mains - 100mm residential areas - 150-600mm in industrial areas- laid underground, consumers draw their water from them by smaller pipes - Hydrants often placed alongside the road approx. 90m apart 3. Ring mains - High risk/priority areas e.g. schools, hospitals, fuel depots- water travels both ways around the loop.- if one loop impacted, water still available on the other loop- shut off valves can also be fitted

51
Q

What is water hammer and how can it be prevented

A
  • Occurs when water flow is suddenly shut off.
  • The pressure of water must then be absorbed by the pipes and fittings
  • This can rupture hose joints, hydrants, water mains or pump casings

To avoid water hammer:
- shut off branches smoothly and steadily
- shut off hydrants smoothly and steadily
- shut off deliveries and collectors at the pump smoothly and steadily
- If driving over a hose that is charged it should be done slowly
