There are many variations in how a water supply for a fire operation can be established. Each of them has pros and cons that require the officer to make judgment calls on which is appropriate for each fire. Department SOG’s may also dictate which method is used.
Members must be knowledgeable in the methods of performing lead-outs, fast water attack using tank water, relay operations and drafting operations. The key in water supply decision-making is to attempt to maximize available water flow with minimum interruptions in flow providing sufficient back-up flow capacity for emergency and changed in water supply needs.
