Download or read book Fire Service Hydraulics Pump Operations 2nd Ed written by Paul Spurgeon and published by Fire Engineering Books & Videos. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding hydraulics and pump operations doesn’t have to be difficult, and it is of key importance to the science of fire engineering. Putting all the pieces together correctly so that the right stream is brought to the fire is essential to effective fireground operations. In the second edition of Fire Service Hydraulics and Pump Operations, author Paul Spurgeon, engineer/pump operator with the Denver Fire Department, breaks down the sometimes difficult-to-understand formulas of hydraulics and pumps into easily learned steps, taking care to explain the hows and whys of each formula discussed. Using an in-the-street, practical approach, Spurgeon teaches readers how to develop proper fire streams as well as how they relate to overall fireground strategies. He covers hydraulics and pumps extensively—from the properties of water to its supply to pumping to sprinkler systems and foams. So readers can put what they’ve learned into practice, Spurgeon provides both end-of-chapter tests and practice sets at the end of the book, complete with answers so that readers can check their knowledge. The second edition includes numerous updates and additions, including the Rule of Thumb chapter that illustrates how to perform these complex calculations while under stress on the fireground. This text meets the learning objectives for FESHE Fire Protection Hydraulics and Water Supply course work. Features and Benefits: • Summary of chapter formulas • End-of-chapter tests with answers • Practice sets with answers to further test your understanding

Download or read book Hydraulics for Firefighting written by William F. Crapo and published by Delmar Pub. This book was released on 2001-08-27 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newest edition to Delmar's successful Fire Rescue line, Hydraulics for Firefighting leads readers through the principles, theory, and practical application of fire service hydraulics. Written in a format that will help guide the new firefighter through even the most technical hydraulic principles and complex laws of physics, the first 9 chapters concentrate heavily on theory and formulas. The author takes care to explain theories in ways that are easily understood by anyone with knowledge of basic algebra. In addition, examples appear immediately after detailed technical explanations, presenting the requisite theory in terms of a practical application. The final 4 chapters offer opportunities for readers to apply their new knowledge of hydraulics to real-world tasks, such as: calculating engine pressure, getting the most out of the available water supply, and testing and inspecting water-based suppression systems.

Download or read book Fire Under Control written by Steve Bernocco and published by Fire Engineering Books. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core principles of structural firefighting are fire behavior, building construction, strategy, tactics, safety and training. Each core principle is examined with relevant on-the-job stories to bring lessons home. Fire departments must constantly train their firefighters and officers in these core principles if they want them to be safe and effective at structure fires. Training is the foundation of all the other core principles, and must be realistic, scenario-based, and hands-on. Never stop learning during your time as a structural firefighter. If you come to a point where you mistakenly believe that you know everything there is to know about fires in and around buildings–watch out–because you have just fallen into the complacency trap. FEATURES --Gain a deeper understanding of how firefighters should approach fires in buildings, with an emphasis on safety and effectiveness --See the latest research from UL and NIST on fire behavior and flow paths, with a discussion of best-practices and up-to-date tactical advice. --An essential, easy-to-read fundamental resource on how to safely and effectively fight fires in buildings of any size or type. “Fire Under Control is a riveting new book that allows you to learn while also seeing how street experiences coincide with printed tactical and scientific fire service information. I always have said that eyes, ears, and experience will equal your education in the fire service and Capt. Steve Bernocco has managed to bring it to light.” -- Lt. Mike Ciampo, Fire Department of New York
