Fado Pumping

1. Nozzle pressure ( NP): Pressure needed at the nozzle to create and adequate fire stream. Fog = 100,
smooth bore 50 and mast stream smooth bore 80
2. Engine pressure ( EP): Total engine pressure is on the master discharge gauge, discharge for the individua
discharges
3. Gallons per minute ( GPM): Amount of water per minute that's coming out the end of the hose
4. Head pressure ( HP): Pressure positive or negative for Up hill or down hill, up floors or down floors
5. Appliance ( APPL): Water passes through these and creates friction
6. Friction loss ( FL): Friction loss through a given line
7. Standpipe (SP): Creates friction, similar to an appliance
8. Base: Pre completed pressure calculations for elevated streams
9. Relay: Pumping from a hydrant to another apparatus or from an apparatus to apparatus in a long relay operation
10. 3 things needed to determine the basic EP of a given line: NP, size of the hose, and
amount of hose in use. Other factors that affect EP include elevation and appliances
11. In cab operations for pumping: 1. Spot apparatus
2. Set air brakes
3. Shift to neutral( slight RPM increase, verify transmission indicator).
4. Engage pump ( listen for engagement, light on dash to illuminate
5.shift into drive ONLY ON NON SALISBURY
6. Verify radio frequency
7. Switch radio to remote
8. Deactivate jake brake
9. Light area
10. Activate four way flashers. ( not listed in FADO, scan gauges )
12. Outside operations for pumping: 1. Ensure green pump light is on
2.open tank to pump valve
3. Clear hose bed
4. Connect hose
5. Set chocks BEFORE INCREASING RPM
6. Wait for water to be called ( verbally or by hand, not listed but acknowledge call for water)
7. Open discharge
8. Lock discharge open
9. Determine length of lay
