I. I. I. I. ObjectiveObjectiveObjectiveObjective
Pump a supply line of 2-1/2 inches or larger, given a relay pumping evolution the length
and size of the line and the desired flow and intake pressure, so that the correct pressure and flow
are provided to the next pumper in the relay.
II. II. II. II. Instructions Instructions Instructions Instructions –––– Procedures for Achieving the ObjectiveProcedures for Achieving the ObjectiveProcedures for Achieving the ObjectiveProcedures for Achieving the Objective
Given a fire department pumper as the source pumper, the Driver/Operator shall properly
position and set up the apparatus to pump in relay to a designated relay apparatus.
III. III. III. III. Examiner’s NoteExaminer’s NoteExaminer’s NoteExaminer’s Note
The Driver/Operator will not be allowed to review the performance steps at the time of
testing. The receiving pumper needs 350 GPM. The pumpers must be a minimum of 300 feet
apart.
