Most important piece of plastic a firefighter owns got pretty banged up during this basic evolution. Use the D-ring on the face piece and clip it to the halter snap on the right shoulder strap to protect it. Better yet, don't lay out with your SCBA on. Otherwise, excellent and thorough step-by-step explanation of this important skill.

I was wondering too if all people were that irresponsible about their masks. Guess it was this firefighters little problem.

That mask budget must be expensive. .

i am a volunteer firefighter from austria. I am asking myself, why this firefighter needs his SCBA while operating a hydrant, and i am wondering why he takes that less care about his face mask.

Because in some volunteer department that poor guy goes from the hydrants to the Interior

I hang my mask on my shoulder strap. I see some guys attach it to there regulator like this but it just gets in the way. And yes, after you tag the hydrant, it’s on to the next task, which could put you in IDLH.

Let me give you a second method to stab the hydrant. If you wrap the hose around the hydrant and the hose snags and locks up coming out of the back. Either the hydrant cracks or the hose rips. Instead bring the hose six feet past the hydrant and fold it back against the hydrant and bring the hose couple up pass the hydrant. Then place your foot on fold against the hydrant. The hose couple face the truck. If it snags it will just pull out from your foot and go down the street.

What's the name of the large hydrant adapter. And what's the other 2 large openings for? Boosting?

It is a 3-valve storz adaptor. So you can change to another hose line e.g. with direct pumper and use a far hydrant or open water over a pump to connect a new supply hose line - all without break the water supply from this hydrant. It have a built-in not-reverse too - so dry hydrants can't suck water back. I see this often at departments with storz-coupling systems. But funny that the hydrants have one or two extra outputs on the side. One for extra open for flush is okay but two? No one from the U.S.A use it direct to a hose line these days. An example for this 3-valve storz adaptor: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hr-RddmKu9CbpI0.html

Ideally all hydrants would have two steamer nozzles to get the most hydraulically efficiency, make them 5” Storz for convenience. But, the tradition is set. You can spec double steamers from most manufacturers though.

Bad thing about wrapping the hydrant is if that hose gets stuck which can happen (Murphys law) it has the ability to rip the hydrant off its mounting bolts to the ground

@leomatera4014 Жыл бұрын

Other thing is I wouldn't personally set up the gate and stortz adapters until after flushing/testing the hydrant first. Would hate to do all of that just to find out the hydrant is frozen, busted, non functioning, etc. I know each department has different SOPs though. Just going based off of what I was taught.
