Engine Company Operations: Hydraulic Ventilation w/ a Smooth-bore/Solid Stream Nozzle

2011-11-28T14:16:52.082Z

The latest addition to our video training series demonstrate two techniques for using a smooth-bore or solid stream tip to conduct hydraulic ventilation.

Many fire service members believe that a fog nozzle is the only nozzle that can be used for ventilation, and "prefer" a fog nozzle for that reason. These techniques show that a solid stream nozzle can be used as a hydraulic ventilation tool as well.

We do not entertain the "Smooth-bore vs. Fog" nozzle debate, but we do have our preference. As Tom Brennan stated when asked about his preference: "A smooth-bore nozzle doesn't make a terrible engine company good, and a fog nozzle doesn't make a good engine company terrible!"

Regardless of which one you use, know your tools, the capabilities and the drawbacks.
