Long Laneway – 3rd arriving tanker with 2nd arriving pumper

AT THE HYDRANT

As soon as possible 3rd arriving Pumper (3) should leave his Firefighters at the fire scene and attend at the tanker fill location, whether it is a hydrant or a static source, pond steam etc.

P-3

P-3, ensure the hydrant is flushed and attach a minimum of 1 hi-vol and 2- 65’s from hydrant to truck intakes. (Certainly a hi-vol can be used in place of a 65)

Tanker Drivers assist

AT THE HYDRANT

Setting this up and pulling water from the system, diverting to tankers through your pump will greatly decrease tanker fill time, especially on a weaker hydrant.

P-3

Next, apply 2 lengths of hi-vol, 1 to each discharge of your choice – you may need 2 – 65mm female to stortz adapters, one from P-3 and one from a tanker

Tanker Drivers assistT-1

T-2Tankers have 50’ hi-vol on board

1st arriving Pumper – only feasible where Pumper can park safely within 10-15 ft of water source

AT A STATIC SOURCE (POND, STREAM ETC.) - OPTION 1

Additionally, attach 3” hard suction with screen to 2nd inlet with an additional 65mm soft line to a 2nd discharge

T-2

AT A STATIC SOURCE (POND, STREAM ETC.) - OPTION 2

1st in Tanker

T-1 set up portable pump, hard suction, screen and bucket feeding 65mm soft line to tanker.(be advised Stn 1’s T-1 has a stortz to triple 65mm gated manifold (inset) – as soon as T-1 arrives it should insert this piece of equipment into the system–A-1 also has this item in inventory)

AT A STATIC SOURCE (POND, STREAM ETC.) - OPTION 2

1st in Tanker

Once the manifold has arrived, the feed line from the manifold to the tanker will be a length of hi-vol (don’t forget to open the gate on the pump side of the manifold)

T-1

AT A STATIC SOURCE (POND, STREAM ETC.) - OPTION 2

2nd arriving tanker

T-2 set up 2nd portable pump, hard suction screen and bucket to 2nd manifold intake – fill time now cut in half

Drop your jerry can too

AT A STATIC SOURCE (POND, STREAM ETC.) - OPTION 2

3rd arriving tanker

T-3 set up 2nd portable pump, hard suction screen and bucket to 2nd manifold intake – fill decreased by another 3rd
