Firefighting tactics are changing, and Episode 12 with PJ Norwood brings the debate.
Basement fires. Search tactics. Water mapping. Smooth bore vs fog nozzle. Deck g*ns, blitz lines, and low staffing.
Old way vs new way. Which wins?
Basement fire tactics are changing, and PJ Norwood is calling out the debate in Episode 12 of the TFT Fully Involved Podcast.
In Ep. 13 of Fully Involved, Louisville firefighters break down the courtyard lay, a practical “horizontal high-rise” tactic for fires in long courtyards, offset alleys, setback homes, and tight access neighborhoods
What do you do when the engine can’t get close?
Episode 13 of Fully Involved is all about the courtyard lay: how Louisville crews get big water closer, deploy the wye, build attack lines, protect exposures, coordinate ventilation, search, and finish the job.
Can your tank transfer hit 600 GPM?
Henry Lovett shows how a jet siphon strainer uses pressurized water to create a venturi effect and transfer water from tank to tank.
TFT's Ben Lehman shows how the Oasis Hydrant Assist Valve moves water from straight hydrant pressure to boosted relay pressure - which in this case resulted in 2,000 GPM and 35 psi residual off just one hydrant.
