FIRE 155 — Fire Service Hydraulics
This is a foundation course in the principles of hydraulics as applied to fire service hose and appliances. This course applies theoretical and application principles to solve hydraulics based challenges. Topics include principles involving water at rest and in motion, solving hydraulic problems in fire hose layouts by exact mathematical calculation and fire ground estimation, establishing the ability to make rapid fire ground hydraulic determinations, and to evaluate the efficiency and effectivene ss of various hydraulic systems including hydrant flows. Prerequisite(s): none Corequisite(s): MATH-130 or MATH-140
