How much of a concern is your ppm reading when the LEL is showing zero?

@peterazzopardi7102 6 ай бұрын

Some other things to think about; bring a double 3" to the FDC with you. This gives you the ability to augment the buildings sprinkler system if they have already been activated as well as hooking into the standpipe for fire attack. Also grab an extra double male and female. In the event the FDC intake doesn't swivel, you can hook the double male in than utilize your double female. This prevents you from having to make an unnecessary trip back to the rig.

Nice video, just a few technical mistakes. Unless the Altair 5x was a PID or IR type(it wasn’t) then there is only spots for only four sensors. Your CO sensor is probably the combination CO/H2S type. If you were to open it up(don’t) left to right (arching not straight across) the Combustible, O2, Exotic toxin(HCN in your case), CO/H2S combination sensor. Secondly, the combustible sensor is a catalytic bead sensor, it is not reading methane, it is reading the temperature difference between the type A detector bead and the type B compensator bead. This displays as lel of whatever combustion gas you may be encountering. Methane is used in the calibration gases because of the instability of pentane but the scale is the pentane scale still. This video is still pretty good though. You can and I’d suggest considering turning off the fresh air setup feature as an option altogether. It can be done through the back office software. Too much confusion and not worth the hassle, just turn it off unless you have zero gas and expertise to use it correctly on scene.

The combustible gas conversion tables should only be used if the gas is known. Avoid silicon and alcohols anywhere near the detector, those are sensor killers.

Does a 150 foot load allow you to stop the engine outside of the collapse zone?

@glensidefirecompany5652 3 ай бұрын

It would be dependent upon the positioning of the apparatus. Although if the conditions are severe enough that collapse is a very definite possibility, we would not be pulling the front bumper line to extinguish the fire.

I am still trying to figure out why the fire fighters handheld meter was beeping. Chronic sewer line blockages, no natural gas has been supplied for almost a year (line was capped after the last leak). I do smell human waste too much to be happy.

@fireclan9326 7 ай бұрын

The XCell sensor are (in my opinion) the best sensors out there. But there are some cross sensitivity to account for. MSA has provided charts for such, so they may have been picking up another gas and it was reading as HCN when encountering sewer gases.

Gate valve goes on first. Then Elbow with bleeder then inline pressure gauge. If the hose gets stuck under a door you can shut the line down with the gate valve then bleed it down to remove the hose from under the door.

Im guessing your pump pressure to be around 155 PSI for a 350ft 13/4 lay. You would have 105 lbs friction loss in the hose plus 50 psi operating pressure for your tip giving you 160 GPM. For a 15/16 tip, 350ft lay you have to up pump pressure to 175 PSI. That would be about 125 lbs. friction loss and again 50 PSI for your nozzle pressure giving you 185 GPM. Do you REALLY need that long of hose? Maybe garden apartment set backs? Maybe go to 2" hose or 21/2 wyed to 1/34 attack line.

@glensidefirecompany5652 3 ай бұрын

These are all good options. We have found that the 350' line is quicker to flake out compared to assembling and flaking out a leader line. Both are viable options and are in the tool box. Thanks for watching the video.

@bunker108 Жыл бұрын

What are you pumping this at? I'm guessing close to 200psi. Having good hose certainly helps.

Very interesting. I know the key hose and smooth bore knob go a long way to reduce friction loss, but have you tried making the dead load 2.5” to reduce friction loss further?

@rokbrglez3134 2 жыл бұрын

certainly looks interesting. i want to learn more about your hose loads. does the additional length not cause any issues when not completely stretched (wrinkling, twisting, not getting enough water trough)? what happens if you need to make it longer? what happens if you want to have a second nozzle on the end of the line? do you have to get another separate line all the way from the truck?

@glensidefirecompany5652 2 жыл бұрын

We spec'd out this engine a specific way due to the nature of our first due. We have some smaller residences 5-10 ft off of the street, some average sized houses 30 ft off the street, and some very large houses anywhere from 50 to hundreds of feet off the street. This would go into the engine officer's decision making when it comes to which line to pull, and if we pull our 350' line, we would be a good bit a way from our ingress point to the fire, and be utilizing 250+ ft solely stretching to that ingress. If we need more than 350 feet of hose, we have a few options. We could use a leader-line style which would easily give us 400' between our 250' of 2.5" into 150' of our 1 3/4" apt. pack -- or we could utilize an additional 75' section of 1 3/4" apartment pack onto the end of our 350' line to give us 425' at the minimum. The decision would be made by the officer of the engine on which pack would work best for the scenario.

May I ask, how are your smaller/shorter firefighters able to safely unload and reload this 350 feet of hose?

@glensidefirecompany5652 2 жыл бұрын

The driver's initial job after doffing the engine would be to assist every firefighter in getting their hoseload on their shoulder. This should help firefighters of any size safely get the hose on their shoulder. Thank you for your question!
