Hydrant Operations

[@danamaral6587]

What about flushing the hydrant prior to attaching hose? Debris in water system may damage the pump...

[@happy2b58]

you are suppose to flush out Hydrant way before that i cant remember if its monthly or yearly

[@Zachattackisrad]

@@happy2b58 nope its always good to flush when you connect even if it was flushed that day

[@Yinyang1277]

When did hooking up become the domain of the brain injured? I'm a city boy, don't you flush the hydrant first ? Your going to love it when the beer bottle in the plug hits your pump's impeller.

[@thomaslucas8965]

That’s what I’m sayin

[@brianrobinson9602]

Never flushed the hydrant, that could be really bad if there is something that could screw up your pump

[@paulschewene7850]

Not bad... Only opportunity for improvement I see... is to crack that hydrant open and flow a little water to be sure foreign objects that could be in that thing, are flushed out, BEFORE you hook up your supply line. Foreign objects ingested into your pump could not only damage your pump... but put your pumper out of service at the WORST time for your firefighters inside that building. Most of the time... you'll crack the hydrant... and nothing but water comes out and you hook up and you're good to go... NO QUESTION. But... it HAS happened, that foreign objects have gotten into those hydrants, and been flowed right into pumps, screwing them up, leaving the truck out of service, and costing a big chunk of change to get fixed. Flowing water from the hydrant for 5 to 10 seconds to 'clear it out', is a CHEAP insurance policy, to protect your truck... AND... see if the hydrant even has water in it to start with.

[@lateral1385]

Kentucky?

[@XXxxcrisisxxXX]

dam straight, our guys didn't flush the hydrant first, we got done removed the ldh and there was a frigin 2 inch diameter log inside that some one tossed down the hole. luckily it jammed itself and didn't get out of the hydrant. this was a private hydrant on a commercial poperty

[@veronicareyes4391]

WHAT THE HECK !!!!

[@sbdftw1702]

That was the first thing that came to mind. They may do things differently but I would always flush prior to flowing. Also connecting a 4-2.5” storz to the ball valve seems a little odd but again, places do things differently. Based off my hydrant bag, I will hook up the 5” hose to the 5” hydrant discharge then throw in the gate valve to one of the side discharges. Or if circumstances force us to use a 3” supply line, then throw the 5-2.5” adapter on one of the side discharges and the same gate valve to the other side.

[@MindKontrolleProject]

Nah...In NYC they let the Rats shoot out 🐀. Reminds me of Augustus Gloop in Willy Wonka. 🍬

[@johnmcdonald2090]

Why are you not pre-flushing the hydrant to prevent any crap that could be in there which would be in there sent to the pump

[@tristenosborne8185]

So why no flushing of the hydrant? Here in Australia we always flush hydrants.

[@TimMcArdle]

[@brendonmason5750]

Shouldn't you flush a hydrant? And why is he putting a wrench on a stortz fitting?

[@waynekrzemien4052]

Never flushed the plug. Debri could be in the main. And what if the plug was dead.

[@billyburn2759]

Pretty Embarrassing I must say. Like you said; 1)debris 2) is their water? 3) better yet....is there pressurized water?? Ive had dead hydrants that appear to have water, when there was only 10-15psi of pressure....making it UNSERVICEABLE and a death trap.

[@andrewcoffey5284]

I feel like everyone should have a more similar setup for hydrant tools. I’ve been in 2 departments and the first one had it in a box made of thick plastic, and the one I’m currently in keeps the tools in a bag. A hydrant board seems odd to me. Also gotta remember to flush the hydrant first

[@loganironside343]

We keep all our hydrant tools in the rear and left and right of the apparatus like hydrant spanner wrenches and hose wrenches

[@fanofClips]

The firefighter do not try if the water come good before to put the hoses ?

[@Dog.soldier1950]

I’ve seen this done with the fireman jumping off the moving truck, wrapping the hose around the hydrant while the engine moves off toward the fire. Maybe not so much these days

[@extraslayar4585]

my department we just grab the 4in off the back and wrap about 10 feet extra around the hydrant and send the truck down as we connect the adapters to the main valve and side valves. (we are also all volunteer so alot different than most departments)

[@101southsideboy]

not a fire fighter but i do notice one step the firemen are not doing . not turning on the water first before hooking up the hose to get rid of any rust that will be in the , water till the water starts to run clear

[@jamesgarrison6430]

Also the fire truck should have put its hazards on

[@drewchamberlain2389]

James Garrison you don’t need your hazards since they are most likely at an academy and in a real situation emergency lighting would be on

[@billyburn2759]

ARE u insane. Flush til clear water? You are NOT a paid firefighter

[@ju.h_man]

No gloves? And why don't you use the ball valve every time you operate the hydrant? I'm just curious, because here in germany we work a lot different

[@nicholasbeard4801]

I mean truth be told you really don’t need to wear gloves when operating a hydrant. Not saying you shouldn’t, it just isn’t needed. My department keeps a Gate Valve (same thing they were using different name) pre connected to our supply lines so when we go to catch the plug, we can take the gate valve and attach it to the Hydrant. That way our water flow isn’t interrupted.

[@ctt4811]

Did i miss flushing the hydrant first?

[@riccardoz2953]

question: in several videos i have seen that they open the hydrant to check that is clear and empty from debries, then they close , attach the main hose and then they open when the veicle is ready... why didnt do that here?

[@jairoacevedo8811]

Riccardo Z not sure but realistically you should always check if your water is clear or free of debris because if that gets inside of the engine it could mess it up

[@colleen7845]

I was thinking same thing....Didn't flush Hydrant....

[@billyburn2759]

AMATEURS

[@yeet877]

He starts everything with the word "Firefighter"

[@Joe-fe4xi]

Yeet What’s he meant to say? Alien returns to his apparatus?

[@hometownmedic7355]

He’s keepining it gender nuetral so nobody feelings get hurt. The downside is how annoying it is when he cant just say “He” when referrring to a specific male(if thats how that male wants to be addressed) and then expect people to decode and modify when he said if they want it to apply to themselves. Sign of the times..

[@Yinyang1277]

🤣🤣🤣🤣Ik he could just say “he then” or “then” or “afterwards”, ffs anything, but firefighter😂😂😂he said it over 25+ times this video.

[@puppy2ful]

Wouldn't want them to think a cop was supposed to help...

[@austinj2068]

Two things I noticed. First is not cracking the hydrant to check flow and debris before attaching supply line. Second is the firefighter re-boarding the apparatus after laying the dry pull. I wouldn't be comfortable driving off without someone checking to make sure that hose lays out without snags. They're only going a few hundred feet at most, its an easy walk at that point.

[@thomaslucas8965]

He forgot to drain the hydrant what if something gets in the hose line then your screwed

[@alexkitner5356]

First he moved slow as can be, second he didn't have a pack for the evolution where he tied the plug and got back on the rig, third none of the evolutions had the hydrant flushed of debris, fourth he didn't dress the hydrant with a ball valve except the one time when it was unnecessary because he hooked up the only line to the ball valve removing the chance to add another line later without shutting the hydrant off, and finally fifth he hooked up to the 2-1/2 outlet when the steamer wasn't in use in two evolutions and in the one case when he could have hooked the steamer, added the valve and been prepared to maximize water flow. Just a complete lesson on how not to do it...

[@SyrRduDtw]

Forgot to flush the hydrant before connecting.

[@BonsteelB]

Great video! At @3:15 you say "clockwise" twice though- you mean counterclockwise at that time, correct?

[@gonzalo8832]

[@vvprock]

And what about leaving the hydrant wrench on the hydrant so someone can turn off the water!!

[@coltl6408]

Should have helmet strapped on before you got off the engine walk a little faster and wrap the hose around the hydrant tell the to go flush the hydrant then connect

[@braydonmcelwain9035]

Ahh flush the damn hydrant

[@aarons4996]

[@Dobleceroskunk]

[@zerodarkthirty7171]

This hydrant was probably already flushed prior to filming or during the cut so they could save a little time filming

[@TempoDrift1480]

So leave out the important parts when training? Makes sense.

[@loganironside343]

Coupling should be already attached to the hose.then all you have to do is grab the 5inch hose a spanner wrench or hydrant wrench and thread the hose on after hose is drawn out of the hose bay

[@jonathanreynolds7886]

only effective in jurisdictions where every hydrant has identical threads. One of the departments I work for has to carry two couplings, because the town has two different thread types for steamers on hydrants in different areas of town.

STORZ NOT stortz. Pretty shitty job of stretching the hose from hydrant to the engine. There was an awful lot of water restricting kinks in that hose. I guess this is the HOW NOT to do it version.

[@ironmatic1]

[@MichielKlaver]

These American hydrants are based on 200 years old tech and require a lot of work to operate and keep in shape. In West-European countries, we use a system of underground water-locks combined with mobile hydrants. This keeps maintenance low and almost no such issues as broken or frozen hydrants. I found a (very old) instruction-video about how these locks and hydrants work, including a fire-crew operating one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXOumqidbtKeg9k (start at 2:00). Without rushing, this crew opens a well, connects the mobile hydrant, opens the mains, flushes debris and connect a primary hose all within 30 seconds

@@MichielKlaver ok cool makes sense

[@ironmatic1]

It’s the same fuckinf shit. ? Flush hydrants can be purchased from American manufacturers too. A hydrant is literally just a valve with a nozzle, when was the valve invented? What new technology does putting the nozzle underground rather than above ground use? Are you regarded? And those European hydrants with the 2.5” standpipe are only designed to flow 250-500 gpm. In the US, that would be considered “unsuitable for firefighting” and the hydrant would have to be painted black. The typical European hydrant can’t even supply one monitor, deck gun, or aerial. A 5 1/4” valve opening hydrant on a 12” water main can easily flow in excess of 3,000 gpm.
