  1. Firefighter III Module A Fire Hose And Appliances (4-12)

  2. 3-6.1. Identify the adapters and appliances to be used in three specific fire ground situations: (4-12.2) • I. Selecting adapters: • a) To reduce the size of a hose: • i) Determine the size of the current hose line. • ii) Determine the size of hose line needed. • iii) Connect appropriate reducer to current hose line. • iv) Connect desired hose line to reducer.

  3. 3-6.1. Identify the adapters and appliances to be used in three specific fire ground situations: (4-12.2) • b) Divide one line into two lines of the same size: • i) Determine the size of current hose line. • ii) Determine the size of hose line needed. • iii) Connect proper size wye to the current hose line. • iv) Connect desired hose lines to wye. v) Station a firefighter at the wye to control the valves

  4. -6.1. Identify the adapters and appliances to be used in three specific fire ground situations: (4-12.2) • c) Divide one line into several lines of different sizes: • i) Determine size of current hose line. • ii) Determine size of hose lines needed. • iii) Connect proper size water thief to current hose line. • iv) Connect desired hose lines to water thief. • v) Station firefighter at wye to control valves.

  5. -6.1. Identify the adapters and appliances to be used in three specific fire ground situations: (4-12.2) • d) Supply a single hose line with two or more hose lines: • i) Determine size of supply hose lines. • ii) Determine size of hose line to be supplied. • iii) Connect supply hose line to Siamese. • iv) Connect supplied hose line to Siamese.

  6. -6.1. Identify the adapters and appliances to be used in three specific fire ground situations: (4-12.2) • e) Connect two couplings of same sex together: • i) Determine sex of couplings. • ii) Select a double male if the sex is female, or a double female if the sex is male. • iii) Connect the couplings to the appropriate fitting.
