Everyone comments on how slow this is, it's a training video bro... It's supposed to be slow so people can learn... I swear people thick as concrete these days
I just joined my local volunteer department. My chief said he is going to teach me how to work the truck on calls. Thanks for the video, I'll use it as a study guide.
Cool you did it the good way cause I just saw one who was opening too fast, could damage the water line by hammering it, pipe burst is not really usefull.
It allows incoming engines to hook up to the hydrant and get water without first turning off the hydrant. It has a plate that stops incoming water but can be opened with a handle on the side.
If you really want to get technical, and do it the right way, the "butt valve" (or gate valve as i call it) should always be installed before opening the hydrant. Once its on, you want to open the firehydrant very slowly (to prevent water hammers) and let the air out through the "gate valve". When the hydrant starts to flow you can close the "gate valve" and proceed to fully open the hydrant and then do your Flush.
Well I do not see any advantage to this. Either way you are letting the air out with the butt valve or gate valve on or not. Before or after the flush has no effect on the operation.
If you operate the hydrant when it's partially open you will erode the soil around the hydrant. I have never seen anyone fully open the hydrant to flush the hydrant. Also simply applying the butt valve (gate valve) will not assist with this issue. The idea behind flushing the hydrant is mainly to make sure there is not debris in the hydrant, any air in the hydrant will be expelled within seconds. If you are implying that we should leave the caps on, apply the butt valve (gate valve), fully open the hydrant, flush using the gate valve then completely shut the hydrant and then hook our LDH you are wasting precious time and I believe that remedial training should be obtained. If I am misunderstanding your comment / operational procedure for tagging a hydrant please let me know but from what I gather by your comments you are complicating a very simple process.
I've always wondered why the hydrant main hose is aimed into the street (where stupid drivers park illegally) rather than parallel to the street so the main line can turn between two cars? I know it would need to be a little longer, but it assures the line can aways go between or over cars.
Also keep in mind when that 5" is charged it mine as well be a filled with concrete. The loop you would have to make would waste so much time. Like everyone said bust out the windows, or if need be push the car out of the way with another vehicle
Meanwhile in the 2 minutes it took to connect the house was a total loss! Also why not put the hydrant wrench bag with the pony roll? Rather than run to the rear of the truck?
While i understand that speed is a necessity, if a house is gone in 2 minutes because of someone connecting a hydrant, the house was gone anyway. Also the engineer can use tank water while the hydrant is being connected and use hydrant water to refill the tank once it is connected. Just my input, thanks
It’s not usually that slow, usually they have more people on the scene obv, and they rush it. This video does happen to be a tutorial video, meaning it has to be slow.
You must ensure pressurized water. That fireman did not check for "pressure". That could very well be a "dead hydrant.". You must ensure pressure. This is embarrassing.

that hydrant in the video opens counter-clockwise but the hydrants in New York open clock-wise
Why isn’t the hydrant bag in the same spot as the 5” hose? That would make sense.
Hi brother amazing your video
Thank you
Turn the water on and off slowly boys, you can create water hammer and blow the main. Then you have no water.
so many different ways in so many different countries. For me its interesting how they all solved their problem in an other way :)

What was the, "butt valve" on the side installed for?
It allows incoming engines to hook up to the hydrant and get water without first turning off the hydrant. It has a plate that stops incoming water but can be opened with a handle on the side.
Once a hydrant is fully opened you need to close it 1/8 of a turn to relieve the stress on the mechanisms
Thank you for the input. We will mention this in the revison.

Hydrant wrench knocks windows out well enough
Here In new york they break your car windows and pass the hose through .
@@everdream741 We've watched in the movies. Always a great laugh!

It’s a training video bud
im fireman
☣️
By the time the water arrives to the point of the fire the house 🏠 would burn down damn
Non firefighter above 100%
He shouldn’t have stepped in front the hydrant. He can do all that work from behind… 13 turns and half a quarter
Rhdyte6
What a time consuming effort to get water from the mains.....
Wow, by the time all of this is done the house will have burned down.
It's a training video...lol.
you think they’d be going this slow during a fire? 😂😂
So Slow.
It’s not usually that slow, usually they have more people on the scene obv, and they rush it. This video does happen to be a tutorial video, meaning it has to be slow.
I’ve seen people rush and make so many mistakes and do it even slower. This is also a training video, rushing wouldn’t teach anyone anything.
