This course is designed to present students with strategies for maximizing water supply from static and pressurized sources. The establishment of a reliable and sustainable water supply is one of the most important tactical priorities on any fireground. Failure to achieve this critical benchmark will often lead to the loss of life and/or property. On larger scale fires, the role of the water supply pumper may seem like a daunting task. Operators who aren’t prepared for these “once in a career fires” will often find themselves behind the eight ball.
