🚨 STANDPIPE OPS: It’s not just drag, connect, and go. If your probie treats a high-rise hookup like a hydrant stretch, he or she is in for a rough lesson. Between elevation loss, unknown outlet pressure, old valves, garbage jammed in places it shouldn't be and air in the lines — you need a plan. So we’re asking: ➡️ What’s your #1 tip for a new firefighter doing standpipe ops for the first time? ➡️ Do you flow before the fire floor? Use a pressure gauge? Inline bleed-off?

Whether you’re short a tower ladder, hitting a warehouse fire, or stretching hose 10 stories up, the Hemisphere gives firefighters a high-flow, clamp-anywhere solution that you might not have considered before.

📍 BURP DRAFT: Steps 4-6 📍 Primer fail during rural drafting? Avoid this critical mistake! ➡️ Step 4: Throttle up to about 150 PSI ➡️ Step 5: Crack the master intake valve ➡️ Step 6: Open that intake in increments (Avoid this critical mistake!) Watch your master discharge gauge. Fluctuation means the air is burping out through the tank fill, and the draft is working. 👉 Download your tactical checklist to learn more from Andy Soccodato and The Water Thieves!

🔑 Do you extend from the nozzles or from the valves when you have a short stretch? And why? By using the bleeder valve to relieve hose pressure, it allows you to easily attach more hoseline at the valve on the standpipe floor and advance further down the hallway of the fire floor or to the floor above. | Task Force Tips

Enter: Vortex. 💥 This game-changing nozzle lets you flow a hard-hitting straight stream or a tight fog pattern — without sacrificing GPM. No gating. No compromise.
