This guy is the real deal.. if you can take one of his classes you won’t be disappointed. The more we know, the better we can select our tools, the more effective we can be.

I just ran a hose selection "test" for my department... no easy task for sure. You hit on every topic and consideration you must take into consideration when making a selection. Will you discuss the WPI & ATF burn through tests/studies?
