Curt Isakson reviews the RAM XD and its improvements from the legacy RAM Rapid Attack Monitor
The 1-3/16” smooth bore tip size is recently new to the American fire service.
The automatic nozzle is designed to always give you a good looking stream over a variable flow based on the pressure provided to the nozzle.
An often debated topic within the engine company discipline is which is better, the 7/8” or 15/16” size smooth bore? Both are good tips that meet and exceed the interior fire attack standard.
In 2000 at his FDIC keynote address, the late Andrew Fredericks stated “Even in the high-tech battlefield of today, it is the soldier with the rifle who still makes the difference in wartime.
