#7 STANDPIPE OPERATIONS

Ask any firefighter who has ever stretched a hose around the staircase for six flights how valuable a standpipe is, and you'll surely get a hearty endorsement.

In Video #7: Standpipe Operations, John Norman details:

• the various types of standpipes that are found in buildings today, their intended uses, and how to properly implement them in a fire attack
• the inherent weaknesses of the standpipe water supply, as well as the significance of selecting the appropriate attack stairs
• proper components for a standpipe kit

The Fire Officer's Handbook of Tactics Video Series is based on the 3rd edition of the best-selling book and study guide by John Norman.
