Drill of the Week: Reverse Lead-out to Sprinkler Siamese

By Forest Reeder

This week’s drill is a variation on last weeks forward lead-out supply to sprinkler siamese. This drill has the engine reverse from the siamese 300′ to a hydrant or water supply.

Check with local fire prevention codes about the proximity of hydrants to siamese connections. If the 300′ lead-out is contrary to your local code, adapt the lead-out distance to simulate your conditions and make appropriate adjustment to evaluation time.
