I’m a pump operator been on for almost 25 years just want to say thanks for the video nowadays there is a lot on RUclips, which is a good thing and like someone else said Murphy’s Law at every fire it’s good to just look at all these videos pick out what you need to know for your situation and maybe learn something from somebody else. Thanks again for the video your time.
Most important piece of plastic a firefighter owns got pretty banged up during this basic evolution. Use the D-ring on the face piece and clip it to the halter snap on the right shoulder strap to protect it. Better yet, don't lay out with your SCBA on. Otherwise, excellent and thorough step-by-step explanation of this important skill.
In my department we use hose cutter ,at arrival after laying down the hose the pump operator would go back put the hose cutter and forget for the moment the hydrant and give the first attack line watter and when reddy he would connect hydrant hose to the pump.
i am a volunteer firefighter from austria. I am asking myself, why this firefighter needs his SCBA while operating a hydrant, and i am wondering why he takes that less care about his face mask.
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.
Let me give you a second method to stab the hydrant. If you wrap the hose around the hydrant and the hose snags and locks up coming out of the back. Either the hydrant cracks or the hose rips. Instead bring the hose six feet past the hydrant and fold it back against the hydrant and bring the hose couple up pass the hydrant. Then place your foot on fold against the hydrant. The hose couple face the truck. If it snags it will just pull out from your foot and go down the street.
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: ruclips.net/video/PYaBvYVj7tY/видео.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.
Bad thing about wrapping the hydrant is if that hose gets stuck which can happen (Murphys law) it has the ability to rip the hydrant off its mounting bolts to the ground
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.

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.
That mask budget must be expensive. .
Good job.
Awesome training guys

Because in some volunteer department that poor guy goes from the hydrants to the Interior

Probies need to be in full gear no matter what.

How many mask do y'all damage a year? It is only in the way.
You wanna turn on and flush the hydrant before you hook anything up. Wouldn’t want to hook everything up to find out that the hydrant doesn’t work.
What's the name of the large hydrant adapter. And what's the other 2 large openings for? Boosting?
Hu-man value. I probably spelled it wrong lol

Name of the valves again please ?
Gate valve
Show this guy how to put his facepiece over the pack
Why u can't pack your mask up? :(
Display ALL HOSES
That looked so awkward.
Should test the hydrant before u put on the gate
Only 2 things for me...1 throw the mask over ur shoulder so it's outta the way...and 2 why 2 gate valves? Why not 1
If its a good plug then you can gain a good bit more water by tapping all of the outlets.
Get a snaplink for your mask. WTF?
Don’t wrap the ldh around the hydrant either, old schools told me stories about supply getting hung in hose bed and ripping hydrant out the ground
How embarrassing lol
Good job.
