What will I learn?
This Firefighter Hydraulics Course equips participants with precise, hands-on abilities to compute pump discharge pressure, friction loss, elevation pressure, and aggregate line requirements assuredly. Trainees learn to interpret gauges correctly, configure secure pump pressures, handle nozzles and fittings, and take informed decisions when resources are stretched, ensuring all lines function effectively, securely, and in line with established standards.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Mastery of pump operations: establish safe pump discharge pressure, monitor gauges, and avoid cavitation.
- Friction loss calculations: rapidly determine friction loss, nozzle pressure, and pump discharge pressure for fireground configurations.
- Multi-line hydraulics management: balance flows across multiple lines, dual supplies, and combined demands.
