Welcome to the first video in our "Running the Pump" series.
I bet the average volunteer/paid-on-cal firefighter is more scared of the pump than stretching a line into a burning building. If that resinates with you, then you're EXACTLY the firefighter I made this video for.
In this video, I cover basic centrifugal pump theory, pump cavitation and several things a fire pump operator or engineer needs to be aware of.
By having a solid understanding of how the centrifugal fire pump works, what it's good at and what it's not so good at, you'll have the confidence to operate the pump and know what to do when things get a little messy.
Thanks for watching.
