High Rise Operations - Driver/Operator Duties

Kevin explaining the thinking and actions behind a driver/operator's duties on a high rise operation while Jack performs them. The pump operator always has one of the most important roles on a fire scene due to their crew being dependent upon them so that they can go in and extinguish the fire. Not to mention, they have the responsibility of getting their crew to the scene safely. Any questions, feel free to drop them in the comments below.

Some other things to think about; bring a double 3" to the FDC with you. This gives you the ability to augment the buildings sprinkler system if they have already been activated as well as hooking into the standpipe for fire attack. Also grab an extra double male and female. In the event the FDC intake doesn't swivel, you can hook the double male in than utilize your double female. This prevents you from having to make an unnecessary trip back to the rig.

Nice information. However, rather than waste time (which is paramount) keep a spanner wrench with you.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you mean at the beginning of the video when attaching the 3 inch?

@@glensidefirecompany5652 I believe so. He talked about going to get a tool. Experience has taught me to keep the tools necessary to perform the particular function handy. Time is of the essence. Throw the 1st shot, connect the second shot then connect to FDC or whatever.
