true false
true
chock doors while advancing hose
t/f
True
position hose to what when operating hose from ladder
through the rung
hoisting hose charged

help get hose up ladder
always a good idea to have pre set up hose packs for high rise buildings True / False
True
Hose line can become loose if
loose nozzle
unattended nozzle
fire stream
a stream of water or other extinguishing agent after it leaves a fire hose and nozzle until it reaches the desired point
fire streams used to
reduce heat from a fire
protect the ff
protect exposures
always be doing
size up
fire stream considerations
properly developed and aimed
poor steams allow fire to burn
proper stream has volume, pressure, direction
pump water hose nozzle
fire streams need
pump
water
hose
nozzle
low volume stream discharges
<40 GPM
