It takes success in three areas to reach a gold standard handline attack package—proper nozzle selection, proper discharge pressure and proper hose spec. This class will first cover the benefits of reducing nozzle pressure and focusing on gpm while establishing a diminishing return range in both directions regarding application rate, stream velocity/nozzle pressure and reach. It will then focus on the need to properly spec handline hose to ensure that the handline attack-package system works in concert with the fire attack team. The last item, the handline hose itself, is vastly misunderstood and represents the largest challenge to get right.
