Our Trainings

Building the Water Supply Infrastructure course offers 16 hours of instruction that focuses on creating and managing advanced water supply functions and includes a full scale exercise that incorporates an ISO documentation. Those who take this course will leave with a comprehensive understanding and ability to successfully build and operate water supply infrastructure in emergency scenarios.

​

The Building the Water Supply Infrastructure course is divided into three separate parts, two classroom sections and one full-scale exercise. The first section of this course will be concentrated on water supply relay operations. Students will learn about building a pipeline from the source engine to the final discharge point, retaining maximum water supply from pressurized and static water sources, apparatus pump design and understanding basic friction loss. 

​

The second section students will complete revolves around tanker/tender operations. This segment describes necessary appliances and techniques to create static volume into copious pressurized sustained water flow. Here attendees will learn basic formulas and understand what, how, when, and why to use water supply economics, nursing water from tankers/tenders, jumbo siamese valve operations, drop tank operations, building a pipeline, and much more.

​

Finally, students will participate in a full scale exercise that will be filmed and documented for application towards ISO improvement ratings with the goal of creating two or more water supply fill-sites, with expectations of achieving a 1000 gpm per site. Students and apparatus will operate and manage a mini-relay and nurse the simulated fire scene with tankers/tenders sustaining 250-500gpms. Nurse operations will continue until a tanker/tender task force arrives, subsequently building the water supply’s infrastructure and achieving a sustained 2000+ gpm.
