14 THOUGHTS ON “DRILLS

  1. 1. seating assignments
    2. engine assignments (1st due, 2nd due)
    3. water supply vs. water on fire (bulldoggin’)
    4. proper use of PPV fans
    5. efficient ventilation
    6. multi-family/garden apartment stretches (1 3/4″ v. 2 1/2″)
    that’s all for now…
  2. Explain why it is important to carry spare rolls of each for each hand line, short section of LDH, the 3″ fill line, and LDH hose clamp in the engineers compartment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Can you explain or show the loading of this method for engines that have hose trays that come off of the truck and are loaded on the ground?
  4. something to notice about your masking up…even though you were describing the procedure it still only took you one minute from the time you knelt down until you were flowing water…”take a minute, to make a minute”…talk yourself through your steps in your head and make sure your list is complete…it also slows you down enough so maybe you won’t do something stupid or get into a situation quicker than you can get out of
