Full Description: This course examines the components and controls used in the operation of a fire pump. The internal parts of a fire pump are examined with the goal of having the student fully understand how the fire pump moves water. Pump panel controls are discussed in relation to the specific function and use of each device. The process and specific functions involved in drafting and hydrant operations are explained in detail. Students will practice setting up for pumping operations. Participants will learn how to determine and overcome friction loss, how to calculate theoretical pump pressure and how to apply easy-to-use "rule of thumb" principles of relay pumping, operating handlines, supplying sprinklers and standpipe systems. On the training ground each student will apply practical applications while flowing water at prescribed pressures.
Full protective clothing (No SCBA) is required.
