Gate valve

If its a good plug then you can gain a good bit more water by tapping all of the outlets.

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.

You arent increasing volume, you are increasing pressure for long hose lays.

if there's time? Takes 10 seconds to properly flush. Ever been to a fire?

thats what im saying u only need the relay pumper if its over a great distance

That 2.5 inch gated valve looks like a good way to cannon shot a hypodermic needle into some unsuspecting person walking past. Definitely flush from the 5 inch, without all the pressure before any hookup of things

Painful to watch. Pretty sure these guys have never been to a fire. So many unnecessary steps. If you know you know.

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.

Where’s that video at?

@@Bukhumdum This must be suburbs of Boston and not the city. No, busy city does half the nonsense you guys did. It's clear to busy departments...you don't do much work.

@@billyburn2759 Boston? The license plates say New Jersey but I don't think he was asking for a location...

Hu-man value. I probably spelled it wrong lol

Humat Valve

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.

Why would the supply (second due?) if that’s what you mean, engine stop and give the tank to the first due. The attack engine already has water. The point of the second due engine in this scenario, obviously, is to get water to the first due engine. It wasn’t mentioned in the video, or maybe I missed it, but this looked like a relay pump. This is clearly a training video, so the fact that the 2 engines were right next to each other in this video makes it confusing to some. These guys probably only had a small parking lot to work with in their town. If that second due engine has to lay a lot of length, then they would relay. Did you see the HAV? If your department’s (or you) second due engines strategy is stopping to give tank water to another engine, and then find water.. that would HENIOUSLY reduce “the time to get water to the attack engine”

@@Bukhumdum if i understand your reply, i think you misunderstood me. after the supply engine stops at the hydrant, send their tank water before hooking up to the hydrant. in this drill, the supply engine took 3 minutes to get water to the attack engine.

@@akamaiokole1962 yeah Nate has no clue

Ddsewee? Guarda

its actually everything you DONT want to do at a fire. Seriously. You're not a firefighter

@@billyburn2759 you are very wrong

@@joshuahollar9880 You're a clueless VOLLY! I forgot more than you know. here's a quote from probably the last time you're little dept went to a fire, 2020...."Firefighters performed an aggressive fire attack and were able to contain the fire to the single bedroom." AMATEURS

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

@@Modelo646 You obviously have never seen how FDNY treats their masks.
