Friction Loss Training


Got to do some friction loss training on Rootstown's first out engine today. Mostly just running multiple lines at different pressures with a certain GPM as the goal. We also went over using an engine to test a hydrant's flow. What was most beneficial for me was getting to use the trash line. Kinda strange but at my A-job, we don't have one. I can see why so many departments use them though. They seem pretty solid for use on couch/ car/ dumpster fires. And the clean up is kick-ass compared to crosslays.
