  1st question: when I was a volunteer our commercial engines didn't have a front suction. Had a rear suction or tank fill. Our engines had 1000 gal tanks. 2nd question: can tank 3 be put behind E-57 so more tankers can unload simultaneously (2-4)?? This would work best on a state road (ideal conditions). Town roads might be challenging or add in dead end roads.

  Great video Mr. Lovett. Easy to digest info and definitely an easier way to handle multiple port-a-tanks.

  But if we utilize your training on multiple suction lines (2 or more) we could simultaneously fill tankers due to a near 1500gpm (depending on truck pump size/ motor hp) ?

  Really great video. Excellent editing, text layover, pictures, etc. Very informative and a solid training package for any department. One CON I would add to using the LDH when you start your operation is the amount of water you would consume just filling that 5’ vs 3’ line. A long lay to a house could consume most of your tankers water AND not even have reached the fire attack engine yet.

  Where does the estimate of 500 gpm per jet siphon come from? I've seen test data by GotBigWater where all devices tested did better than that, with the TFT 6" low level strainer maxing out at 1156 gpm.

  I haven't seen a fire apparatus built on a Ford C series chassis in service in decades! One of our members fabricated a device out of an old brass 2.5" female coupling and a 4' piece of 6" conduit. Included a swivel. He called it "The Water Dong". We kept it on our oldest engine for use in tanker shuttle ops, as a makeshift dump valve. Worked pretty well, and swiveled up out of the way, so it was left connected between uses. A bungee cord or hose strap was used to secure it up while travelling.

  Ever thought about using a 5 to 1 manifold ? First tanker uses a ldh short shot to flow 4” of water instantly then deploy 2 2 1/2” or 3” lines both ways using 2 discharges on the tanker theoretically flowing 5” of water and by removing the double females off the manifold you turn it into a water hole fill site

  @@AppalachianPatriot Nice of you to tell me what I already know. First off, it varies if you use USFS/NWCG ICS terms or NIMS ICS terms. Note that 80% of departments that use NWCG are where? California, because its always on fire so the Feds are always helping put it out. Also worth pointing out is before NWCG was even a thing, the term tanker was used in the trucking industry and by USDOT for vehicles carrying and/or transporting large amounts of liquid. The fact that the vehicle switched from private service to fire service doesn't change what it is. Another point: Tender came about in the late 1970s from a program designed entirely for SoCal, called FIRESCOPE. Meaning that outside of that region, it doesn't mean fuck all. "NIMS/NWCG made me do it" isn't a valid excuse to stick departments with a term they don't want. Finally Tender is an utterly generic term anyway that comes from many places overseas where its analogous to company in a fire service, so it really isn't great to use anyway. The main point though is that people will call it whatever they want, so it really doesn't matter. Tenders and Tankers are the same.

  Before getting into the professional side of firefighting I cut my teeth for 12 years in a large volunteer department who regularly went MA to rural departments who didn’t have hydrants in much of thier districts. Drafting and tanker ops is a must for all engine company drivers. We saw the legitimacy of this after Katrina and the need for drafting in a big city. Hats off to you brothers for putting this to use and getting it perfected!

• 
  @chadjespersen8780Ай бұрын

  This is somewhat normal operations around here. Some issues with what you show: Do not use a siamese. Use a gated appliance. We use a portable hydrant or water thief. That allows 4 - 2.5" inlets as well as a 5" and can push the water to a 5" line. Siamese does not allow the line to be drained if the lay is uphill and ends it people getting very wet if not hurt. A large (think barn) fire will require more than 600 - 700gpm. Most front suctions limit pumps to less than 1000. Know your pumpers and their capacities. It isnt that difficult to add a couple joints from the side and get 1500.

• 
  @Stargazzer811Ай бұрын

  Yeah I was watching this video and asking, why not just use a gated wye? You can shut off one side to disconnect the tanker and connect the drafting engine to it without getting wet or potentially losing flow rate.

  Why you have two handles for tank to pump?

• 
  @alexkitner5356Ай бұрын

  Have been given two reasons, one being that on a hill you might have preference between a front and rear to get all the tank capacity. The other reason is the limitation of a single 2 or 2.5" connection on flow, with it being necessary to have two tank to pump valves if running a deluge at higher discharge volumes. Both have some merit and some potential drawbacks. I also don't mind the idea of having a backup to get tank water in a situation where quick water from the tank is imperative early in an operation.

  @@tylermacconnell217 Wanted to share a story from my old man. My old man was fire chief in a rural area and a neighboring FD said basically the same thing about their 1947 Mac. They had two brand new trucks and wanted to run lead on the fire, "you boys take that old truck and draft from the pond and feed us" Alright man w/e you need. They wanted to run lead because they were at the top of the hill and wanted the paper to take a picture with their brand new trucks running this call. Meanwhile, they kept calling on the radio that they needed more water, more water. Uncle was running the truck, "comming at you." Slowly but eventually had that 'old' Mac singing its high note feeding two trucks at the same time uphill. (3" lines 1000gpm 300' uphill 50' rise pulling from 2 5" suction sleeves on draft) Well, those boys running those fancy new trucks needed to shift on the roadway and shutdown / closed all their lines except supply. They failed to mention they were moving to the 'old Mac' falsely believing it wouldn't matter, (for whatever reason.) What they didn't know was that 'old Mac' was military surplus and was capable of feeding 3 3" lines at the same time. That 'old Mac' blew the packing out of every pump on those new trucks. Thus ending the new trucks being in the paper and instead a picture of a lone 'old Mac' fire truck at the bottom of a hill by a pond with lines coming up the hill like a spider was in the paper instead. I'd have to ask my old man since this was in the 80's, its entirely possible those new trucks were 1970's Fords. (Correction, new trucks were 1979 Chevys, the 'old Mac' had a 6cylinder 500 cubic inch gas engine.) Saw your comment and it kicked that story to the front.
