Horizontales
Advancing Hose Up a Ladder Easier and _______ with uncharged line
Minuteman Load _______ from shoulder as firefighter advances toward fire
______ hose Transports water or other agents, at increased pressure
Reverse Lay Deploying can cause _____ in initial fire attack because tools and equipment must be removed and placed at fire scene before pumper proceeds to water source
____ load Best way to load large-diameter hose
________ valves Used in Siamese appliances and FDC to allow water to flow in one direction only; Prevent water from flowing out of unused ports when one intake hose is connected and charged before addition of more hose
Hose ______ can be installed when hoseline ruptures but must remain charged to continue fire attack
Hose ________ can be used to stop the flow of water in a hoseline
On a female coupling threads cut on free-turning ring called a _____
One ____________ to STORZ couplings is that hydrants require adapter to make connections with nonthreaded couplings
_____Roll Commonly used in situations where hose is likely to be deployed for use directly from a roll
Advancing Hoseline __ and Down a Stairway Lay uncharged hose against outside wall to keep stairs as clear as possible and avoid sharp bends and kinks
_____ appliance Used to divide single hoseline into two or more lines; Have single female inlet and multiple male outlet connections
_____ valves Have baffle lowered into path of water by turning screw-type handle
Higbee ________ Indentation on exterior of coupling marks where Higbee cut begins
________ Hose Reels Rubber-covered hose usually carried preconnected and coiled on reels
________couplings most are sexless, with no distinct male or female components – both couplings are identical
____ damage occurs when water on inside and/or outside of fire hose freezes
Straight Roll Commonly used for Storing sections of hose in storage ____ or other location
________ damage caused by mildew and mold
_____Most commonly found on large-diameter hose
_______ cut on interior surface
Fire Hose instructor (first name)
_____ appliances Combine multiple lines into one line; Permit multiple supply hoselines to be laid parallel to supply pumper or high-output device
Open and close nozzles, valves, and hydrants _________ to limit excessive stress and prevent water hammer
________ damage exposure to petroleum products, paints, acids, or alkalis may weaken hose to point of bursting under pressure
______damage occurs when contact with an object or surface causes slices, rips, and abrasions on the exterior covering, crushed or damaged couplings, and cracked inner linings
____ strainers devices attached to drafting end of hard suction hose when pumping from static water source
Advancing Hose into a Structure; Be _____ for potential dangers such as backdraft, flashover, and structural collapse
If fire hose becomes ______ to ice-covered surface Melt ice with steam-generating device,chop hose loose with axes or leave hose until weather warms enough to melt ice
Verticales
_____ valves open when handle in line with hose
Reverse ___ Used when pumper must first go to fire location before laying supply line
________ is flexible, watertight, and has smooth rubber or neoprene lining covered by durable jacket (2wds)
The hose ______Is used to measure the hose size
_________ designed to connect hose sections to form continuous hoseline and to connect fire hoses to nozzles, hydrants, pumper connections, and FDCs
________ Used to connect hose of different diameters and thread types
_____ supply hose (intake hose) used to connect pumper to hydrant or other water source
______appliances Similar to wye, but have inlet and outlet of matching size combined with smaller outlets that “steal” water from main line (2wds)
Preconnected Hose Loads for Attack Lines _______ lines most fire departments use for fire attack
___________Hose is designed for drafting water from static water supplies (2wds)
_____block devices used to protect fire hose from vibrating and rubbing against other surfaces, which can cause abrasions
Connect couplings ______ to avoid damage to the coupling and gasket.(2wds)
Forward Lay Hose is deployed from _____ source to incident
___________ protects hose from mechanical damage of dragging over sharp corners
Hydrant ______ Primary use – To remove discharge caps from fire hydrant outlets; to open fire hydrant valves
_________Lugs found on modern couplings
Advancing Hose from a Standpipe Stop one floor_____ fire floor and connect attack hoselines to standpipe
NFPA® 1901 lists minimum quantity of hose to be carried on standard ______or engine
_____ hose clamp at least 20 feet (6 m) behind apparatus
_______ damage Can be caused by excessive heat exposure or direct flame contact, which can char, melt, or weaken outer jacket and dehydrate rubber lining
Preconnected ____Load 1. Adaptable for varying sizes of hose beds 2. Often used in transverse beds 3. Similar to flat load for larger supply hose except that exposed loops provided for pulling load from bed
Extending a Section of Hose Requires ___ clamp, spanner wrench, and necessary number of hose rolls or bundles for distance required
Protect hoses by using hose a _________or byplacing a folded salvage cover over sharp edges
______wrench small tool prime early used to tighten or loosen hose couplings; can also be used as a planning tool or Ia gas key.
Threaded couplings ____ cut on exterior surface
