First Due Tackle Pass It On – Firefighter, Rescue & Extrication Training
Here’s another moving water drill. If you missed the portable pond set-up drill, click here. Move the water as you would in a water shuttle operation. (Record and document times for later use with ISO).
Evolution Description:
The tanker stops at location A with 2-4 firefighters seat belted in. To start evolution, the apparatus moves 200 feet to location B and discharges water load into a portable pond. When the water discharge is complete, (ensure all firefighters are seat belted in prior to moving apparatus) the tanker moves 200 feet to location C and stops, which completes the evolution.
Evaluation Criteria:
- Demonstrate hook-up of side dump chute or pneumatic chute operations
- Demonstrate accelerating dump process by engaging the pump, opening the tank to pump, and cracking the tank fill (Understand why if applicable)
- Strive to safely complete evolution in < 5 minutes
Pass it on!
