2. Training Goals Review and apply water supply SOG Review and apply water supply SOG Utilize separate fill sites for vacuum and conventional tankers Utilize separate fill sites for vacuum and conventional tankers Utilize a wye at the scene to facilitate a transfer from nurse to portable tank supply Utilize a wye at the scene to facilitate a transfer from nurse to portable tank supply Sustain 1000 GPM at the fire scene Sustain 1000 GPM at the fire scene

3. Fill Site Separate fill for vacuum and conventional tankers Separate fill for vacuum and conventional tankers (2) 3” Supply lines for conventional tankers (2) 3” Supply lines for conventional tankers Be sure to allow room for movement of tankers Be sure to allow room for movement of tankers

4. Vacuum Tankers Should be independent in loading Should be independent in loading Can draft from a portable tank to fill Can draft from a portable tank to fill

5. Level 1 Water Supply A single 5” (or 3”) supply line is stretched between the attack engine and the tender, could be engine or tanker. During this level of water supply the tender supplements the attack engine. The default initial pressure for supplying 5” hose will be 50 PSI and 100 PSI for 3”. It is recommended to use a Level 1 water supply when it is estimated to utilize less than 2,000 gallons of water A single 5” (or 3”) supply line is stretched between the attack engine and the tender, could be engine or tanker. During this level of water supply the tender supplements the attack engine. The default initial pressure for supplying 5” hose will be 50 PSI and 100 PSI for 3”. It is recommended to use a Level 1 water supply when it is estimated to utilize less than 2,000 gallons of water

6. Level 1 Supply

7. Level 2 Water Supply A supply line (5”or 3”) is stretched with a wye that is connected near access of the tenders. 3” lines will be connected to each side of the wye. As tenders approach, they connect to an available line. As one tender completes pumping off its load, the valve on the wye will be turned to allow for the standby tender to begin pumping. Once the empty tender leaves, the next tender takes its place and cycle is repeated. It is recommended to use a Level 2 water supply when it is estimated to utilize between 2,000 to 10,000 gallons of water A supply line (5”or 3”) is stretched with a wye that is connected near access of the tenders. 3” lines will be connected to each side of the wye.

8. Level 2 Supply

9. Level 3 Water Supply A supply line (5” or 3”) is stretched from the attack engine to an engine that will utilize dump tanks to draft water. It is recommended to use a Level 3 water supply when it is estimated to utilize more than 10,000 gallons of water A supply line (5” or 3”) is stretched from the attack engine to an engine that will utilize dump tanks to draft water. It is recommended to use a Level 3 water supply when it is estimated to utilize more than 10,000 gallons of water

10. Supply Engine Connected for a Level 3 Supply

11. The ideal Working Fire First-in engine is supplied by a level 1 or 2 water supply, until a level 3 can be set up First-in engine is supplied by a level 1 or 2 water supply, until a level 3 can be set up The level 3 engine, with portable tanks, hooks into one of the 3” lines and takes over supplying the fire scene when ready The level 3 engine, with portable tanks, hooks into one of the 3” lines and takes over supplying the fire scene when ready As the event de-escalates, go back to a level 1 or 2 As the event de-escalates, go back to a level 1 or 2

13. Multiple Portable Tanks Tankers should dump in the primary tank if available Tankers should dump in the primary tank if available Jet Siphon or similar should be utilized to move water from one tank to another Jet Siphon or similar should be utilized to move water from one tank to another

14. Results 4 Tankers 4 Tankers 15 Min Turn-around time for tankers 15 Min Turn-around time for tankers 500 ft of hose between supply and scene 500 ft of hose between supply and scene 1000+ GPM without difficulty 1000+ GPM without difficulty

15. Hydraulics 50ft of 3” to the wye, then 500ft of 5” 50ft of 3” to the wye, then 500ft of 5” 70 PSI pump pressure at the water supply engine 70 PSI pump pressure at the water supply engine 60 PSI residual at the fire scene 60 PSI residual at the fire scene 110 PSI at the fire scene, with 1000GPM 110 PSI at the fire scene, with 1000GPM
