EP = Hotel Pack
110
How much time do I have with a 500 Gallon Tank?
1 Preconnect = 4 Minutes
2 Preconnects = 2 Minutes
EP = Blitz
110
EP = 150’ Preconnect
120
EP = 200’ Preconnect
130
EP = Sprinkler System
150
Standpipe with Elevation = EP
Start with 150 and adjust from there
Drill Notes
- Stop tailboard 10 ft. past the hydrant.
- When laying line go only about 1 to 2 mph so the hose deploys slowly and correctly.
Drill Notes
-As a pump operator don’t leave the pump at the end of a fire or drill, need to be there to help figure stuff out.
Drill Notes
- Get water to people quick, figure out exact pressure later.
- Only chase people with a little water if you can see them.
- Once you get the correct EP when they are flowing water then you can leave it. The pressure gauge will bounce when they open and close he bale.
Trouble Shooting
-Not Getting Water
- Start with my initial steps, make sure it is in pump gear and in drive.
- Hydrant turned off
- Glove in Intake
Drill Notes
- Think outside the box, if you are just standing around you can find something to do when getting ready to pump.
- Help with supply line
- Make supply connections
- Get Saw Ready
- Get Fan Ready
- Pull a preconnect
Drill Notes
- Make sure when throwing a pack you fully tighten the pack down, chest and waist.
- Need to be ready to enter the building, two in two out.

Jake Brake
.
Bleed Condensation from the air brakes.
- Moisture
- Automatic
- Manual
Battery Check
-Check for white fuzzy stuff
What should the air pressure be at for the brakes?
-Above 90
- Below 60 Alarm will sound
- Below 40 Brakes will set
What should the coolant be at?
195-210
What should the voltage be?
14.5 to 15 volts
What should the oil level be at?
- Idle - 40 to 50
- Driving - 50-60
Static Pressure
- Stored potential energy available to force water through pipe, fittings, fire hose and adapters.
- Pressure in a water system before water flows from a hydrant is considered static pressure
Risidual Pressure
Is the part of the total available pressure not used to overcome friction loss or gravity while forcing water through pipe, fittings, fire hose and adapters.
