Program Abstract
Facility fire pumps are the heart of a modern fire protection system. A well operated fire pump supports every tactical objective on scene—from initial attack and exposure protection to standpipe operations and sustained water supply. No matter how skilled your organization is and how well prepared you may be, the ability of the facility fire protection system to deliver the right amount of water, at the right pressure, at the right time ultimately determines the final outcome of the incident. This program covers the practical skills and knowledge required to interact with fire pumps during emergency responses. The program addresses the basics of fire pump design and operation, troubleshooting and actions when the pump is (or should be) activated, and proper fire pump shutdown decision-making and procedures.
