In week 11 of SMFR Fire Academy, the recruits learn about many different skills. At the beginning of the week they work on horizontal standpipes and search & rescue. The recruits also learn about tender operations and rural water supply. They finish off the week going through their driver operator utility test.

Nice video, Tanker/Tender OPS!!, I remember participating in an ISO test several years ago in Alaska, we used an attack rig flowing a monitor (1,000 GPM) into a big pond, 2 fold a tanks and I seem to remember (8) 2000 gallon tanker/tenders(Curb weight closer to 70,000 lbs) in constant rotation. We maintained the 1,000 GPM for over 1 hour, which was the goal. Thanks for the videos P.S. I've got one of your "SO. Metro "t's

Just a question from a german firefighter: Why do you use Storz couplings on some of your larger hoses but screw couplings on all the others? Here in Germany we always use Storz couplings. Greetings from Germany

Hi guys, I'm a new firefighter myself, i had a little question. We are tought to always stay near a wall and turn the same direction inside structures. That way, if you need to get out quickly and there's even worse visibilty, you can just turn around, stick to the wall again and turn the other direction each time. I don't see them doing this here. Is this not a custom in the US? I see them crawl in the same way we do, but they just go through the middle of the room. I know you can just follow your hose back out. They told us this can get confusing if there are multiple hoses inside, or if for whatever reason you loose track of the hose. I'ld love a response, and i'm not trying to criticise you. Just trying to learn from different places around the world ;) Also, i like the pool you use, i see it often in american videos! In Belgium, we don't have those. Our tenders (which we call tank trucks) feed into the pumper trucks directly. We do this because Belgium is much more densily populated, so a tender would never have to drive too far to get to a large hydrant. We do have large truck containers that can be used for the same purpose, but they're almost never used. They're mostly used to extinguish burning electric cars (just drop them in). Anyway, thanks to anyone willing to reply to the question i asked before going offtopic :D

Hey man, I don’t know if you found the answer to your question yet. But the way it’s typically done is to stick to a wall if conditions warrant it. If there’s visibility and you can see 360 around you find, if it’s limited visibility you do ur search and fire attack typically off a wall

@Adam-hp5hj Жыл бұрын

This is something that doesn't seem to be addressed in a lot of training in the US as well. Standard search is what you're referring to is called here. It's the most basic type of search and is done without a handline to locate victims quickly in poor conditions. In reality, search is performed often with an officer, and typically from the edges of the unburned portions of the building and out.

@chase.morgan1128 5 жыл бұрын

It’s called CPAT! Here’s what you do. Clothing: -long pants -a shirt -no watches, bracelets, earrings, etc - gloves (gives to you) -50 pounds vest (given to you) You must do these exercises: -3 min stair stepper(with 75 pound vest -drag a dummy 75 yards -crawl threw a tight space -roof pulling/ venting -ladder climbing And more I can’t think of off hand! I suggest looking it up.

Professor Severus Snape number one if you have visibility no need to follow the wall....they might not of been simulating zero visibility. Number two you have the hose line to follow back out and you don’t need the wall. A lot of departments are going to search methods now where you don’t use the wall as much.
