To find the maximum flow you would need to know the maximum pressure. A typical fire nozzle pressure would be up to 100 psi with a diameter of 1 to 1.25 inches. The GPM would be between 300 GPM and 460 GPM through the nozzle.

If it were simply a 3-inch pipe with an oversized pump, running at 100 psi with no nozzle, you could (in theory) move over 3,000 GPM through the pipe (ignoring friction loss).

Even at 80 psi, a master stream through a 2-inch nozzle moves over 1,000 GPM.

Transfers between stations are possible for firefighters in a fire protection district or a municipality. But as far as a firefighter moving from, say, a city department on the east coast to one on the west coast, that's not possible. The firefighter would have to compete for a spot on the department on the west coast to work there. You can't "transfer" between, say, N.Y.F.D. and L.A.F.D.

That depends on the fire department. Some areas have volunteer fire departments, there is often some sort of support in terms of retirement benefits and insurance, but no salary for the firefighters. There are fewer and fewer of these volunteer organizations and paid positions are typical.

They are wound up very tightly, draining leftover water from the hose. If they are cotton-covered hoses (rather than plastic), they are then transported back to the station, unrolled, washed, and laid out or hung in the hose tower to dry. Once they are dry, they can be rolled for storage, or put back onto a fire engine for future use.

this is the definition to sociopath

Antisocial Personality Disorder is also known as psychopathy orsociopathy. Individuals with this disorder have little regard for thefeeling and welfare of others. As a clinical diagnosis it is usuallylimited to those over age 18. It can be diagnosed in younger peopleif the they commit isolated antisocial acts and do not show signs ofanother mental disorder.

no a person running into a burning building to save complete strangers lives no matter who they are or what they have done in their life.....i would not consider that someone who is a sociopath!!!!

It depends on the mission theyre on and how long theyre needed. The military can keep you in the air as long as they deem necessary. Sometimes over 24-Hours.

It's definitely not an easy task, and can vary be how big or small your city's fire department is, and how many other people are applying for the job. There are certainly things you can do to help increase your chances, such as keeping a clean criminal record, getting a college degree, being physically fit, among other things.

To keep their trousers up :)

Bunker Gear normally weighs about 15-25lbs depending on the size. plus the gear which in some cases can weigh up to 50+ lbs

Depends on how the ranks are set-up. It is a possibility though.

Removing trees from a forest fire is called a "fire break" or "fire line" and it provides a separation of the unburned fuel from the fire.

Thus, a fire break affects the "fuel" leg of the fire triangle by denying fuel to the fire.

Yes, valves that are not closed will cause a major problem when the standpipe is tested annually, i.e., flooding or even an explosive hose deployment inside a cabinet.

Firefighters' duty uniforms, the ones they wear around the station, are made from cotton. They usually wear cotton twill pants and cotton shirts. Cotton is preferred because, when they go out on fires, they can put their turnout gear on over it and not have to worry about their clothes melting to their skin. Firefighters' turnout gear is made of "PBI Gold" fabric. It's made of a fabric called "polybenzimidazole" woven with kevlar. PBI fabric is unique in that it is completely unable to burn or melt, even if you poured gasoline on it and set it on fire.

Not very many. A Fireman is entrusted with "Civilian trust" of the highest standard. A Felon has broken that trust and most fire dept will not hire a felon. However the state uses prisoners to fight forest fires and there may be a place amongst them to be hired.
