According to the SMFR pump chart, why should engines relay pump?
to supplement Volume and Pressure
Relay pumping 5” hose
Initial relay 5” hose supply @ 100 psi = 1000 gpm @ 1000’
Minimum Residual = 20 psi
No more than 1 supply bed of 5” between engines
Aerial - Relay pump for defensive ops
Attack Engine = Pump in PSI mode
Draft & Relay engines pump in RPM mode
In relay ops, the attack engine should
Relay Ops - Attack apparatus communicate w/ supply to slowly decrease throttle and close valves.
FL for 2 1/2 supply
200 GPM 8 PSI
250 GPM 13 PSI
300 GPM 18 PSI
350 GPM 25 PSI
500 GPM 50 PSI
first 3 increase by 5 psi, then 7 psi, then doubled
PDP for master stream operations includes
25 psi for MS Appliance and 80 psi for Smooth Bore MS Tip
Master stream via 2.5 Siamese lines FL for
50 & 100’ @ 500, 600, 800, 1000GPM
500 GPM - 50 111PSI - increases by 7psi and doubles (12psi) starting at 100’ for every additional 100’
600 GPM - 114 PSI at 50’ and increases by 9psi starting at 100’ and then 18 psi for every additional 100’
800 GPM - 121 psi at 50’ and increases by 16 psi starting at 100’ and the 32psi for every additional 100’
1000 GPM - 130 psi at 50’ and increases by 25 psi starting at 100’ and then 50 PSI maxing out at 200’
Max operating pressure of the blitz gun
175 psi @ 500 GPM
