Fire service pump operators must understand the many laws of science that govern the study of hydraulics and water supply to be able to handle the complex hydraulic problems that may arise in real-world scenarios. Based on the FESHE Fire Protection Hydraulics and Water Supply model curriculum, Fire Protection Hydraulics and Water Supply, Third Edition teaches hydraulics by systematically addressing the underlying science in a way that makes challenging subject matter easier to understand and retain. Readers will be introduced to the basic properties of water and laws of hydraulics and friction loss before learning to apply formulas to calculate flow, friction loss, nozzle reaction, and more. They will also learn about complex principles of pump operation, various laws of physics, and new and improved formulas for calculating gallons per minute, nozzle reaction, and more.

WHAT’S NEW AND NOTABLE

„ Meets and exceeds the FESHE course objectives and outcomes for the Fire Protection Hydraulics and Water Supply model curriculum (C0277).

„ Each chapter now includes Fireground fact boxes that provide real-world context or additional information on important topics, case studies that emphasize a law or principle presented in the text, and updated key terms, formulas, and end-of-chapter resources.
