This video shows the evolution of the 2-1/2" smooth bore and what to consider when spec-ing out your high flow attack package.

The Art of the Engine continues as Jeff Shupe shows the methodology of using a 2.5" in a simulated commercial attack into an overhead door, and then using a hose bundle to extend with a more manageable line for final extinguishment.
Handline nozzles are often neglected when it comes to basic maintenance.
In this episode we are taking the RAM XD INSIDE and operating it off of a standpipe for situations where greater volumes of water, and increased reach and penetration are needed.
Measuring proper nozzle pressure is an important part of determining flow, nozzle reaction, as well as creating and verifying pump charts.
Both inline gauges and piezometers can be used to measure psi in your fire flow system.
The portable flowmeter is a critical piece of equipment in testing and evaluating fire flow.
The next several videos will focus on how to measure flow and pressure when evaluating a fire flow system.
There are many applications for lightweight portable monitors.
Curt Isakson reviews the RAM XD and its improvements from the legacy RAM Rapid Attack Monitor
