Completely updated in a new edition with updated examples and illustrations and step-by-step solutions to situations not covered in other books, this comprehensive look at fire hydraulics covers the “how” and the “why” of fire hydraulic problems for those interested in either the engineering aspects of fire protection or those responsible for producing adequate hose streams on the fire ground. The volume addresses the principles of fire department hydraulics, water tanks and hose capacity, water supply and testing procedures, fire streams, discharge, friction loss principles and application, unusual and complex problems, pump capacity and drafting operations, relay operations and fire ground hydraulics.
