Pump Ops Sop Flashcards
An engine that is placed strategically near the fire to allow the fire to be attacked utilizing handlines or materstreams:
- Attack pumper
Pg1
In an attack supply evolution the first pumper positions:
Close to the building allowing the fire to be attacked with a handline or masterstream
Pg1
Boost the pressure:
When residual pressures fall below 10 psi a boost in pressure can be made to the water district through the incident commander
Pg1
in a Double attack supply the first two arriving units connect in a ______ pumping arrangement
Dual
Pg1
Dual pumping:
Inlet to inlet connection using a 5” supply line.
Pg 1
High pressure 5” hose:
Blue in color, limited to 300 psi
Pg2
Initial fireground tasks upon arrival at a scene:
- Assume command and direct activities of arriving companies
- Sizing up provide a report of conditions
- Search and rescue with hoseline
- Protect exposures,limit spread, extinguish fire
- Ventilation in advance or in conjunction with fire attack.
Pg2
Manual lay:
Refers to supply lie laid by hand. As a rule one 100’ section per firefighter
Pg2
Minimum residual pressure:
Safe minimum residual pressure is 10 psi
Residual pressure:
The incoming pressure read from the suction gauge on the pump panel when water is flowing
Pg2
Reverse Lay:
Lay from incident to hydrant
Pg2
Single engine evolution:
First engine lays and secures its own supply line
Pg2
The attack supply evolution is used when:
Three engines are not readily available or where two engines satisfy the tactical need
Pg 3
When five of fewer handlines or one masterstream satisfies the tactical needs in the area that the attack engine is assigned, you use the:
Attack supply evolution
Pg 3
When a working fire during extraordinary circumstances such as extreme weather conditions or periods or high call volume that allows only 2 engines to arrive on the scene, you use:
The attack supply evolution
Pg 3
