    This is a pump that allows higher pressure discharges for high rise buildings. There are three impellers in the pump to boost the pressure 3 times allowing operators to overcome the elevation loss when crews are operating on upper floors of buildings that do not have fire pumps (or working fire pumps) on the standpipe system. This requires special high pressure hose to hook from the pumper into the FDC on the building but by the time the water gets to the fire floor you can use standard pressure hose since crews will experience normal pressures due to the elevation pressure loss. Without the ability to pump the proper pressure the crews will not have adequate pressure or flow to fight the fire. Think of how many buildings in Manhattan that are over 30 stories tall...
    Most pumpers in the nation have either single or two stage pumps.
    Hope this helps and its not too complicated.

    Does anyone here know anyone who has taken the test or anyone who is currently employed at the Fairfax County Virginia 911 Center. I am going down to take the test for this agency at the end of this month. I am just trying to get some more info about it. I have been on their website etc, but being able to speak with someone could give me better insight.
    I also applied for Loudoun County Virginia 911 Center as a fire/rescue dispatcher and as a Public Safety Dispatcher with the Prince George's County Maryland 911 Center. Again, I have been on the websites for these agencies, but being able to speak to someone with first hand knowledge would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

    Read the announcement, it encompasses all aspects of the process
    http://www.providenc...sYmCv4.facebook
    http://youtu.be/VCtNkETGOjc (local News announces The test )
    DWC295 all I can say is I grew UP in Close enough to think nothing of Going buffing on a spur of the moment... in a time when THey Ran 3 "rescues" You'll see on the YOUtube and also IF YOU go to PROVIDENCE's Page That they hold no racist judgements against anyone, Lets Face It, anyone In NY, Massachusetts have some regional issues and protect announcements and Hirings as if for they're own war hero son, who will be beack next week, and will have his reconstruction surgery and rehab, 28 minutes before his swearing in...q:^) Here In Connecticut, its become more flexible Hartford is the kookiest as far as Residency issues ... everyone else who had it 30 years ago Pretty much uses anywhere within 1 1/2 hours Travel time (NORMALLY) meaning about as Far as you would wish to go home and return tommorrow at 8 am. I have issue with CT. because they scream racism this and that BUT UNlike Providence who has the announcement available in like 30 languages, Our cities allow Minorities to only be the big 3 .. Afro American, Latin/Hispanic, and Women... which are activly recruited but No one Bothers to stop in a Laotion or Cambodian residence and advise them they are elligible, (it would take away from the major minorities to recognize the true minorities.. its sad...
    I'm Happy to see PFD and the City are at least starting with a level playing field... Beyond that lets not forget Providence (metro) is also regularly dealing with Folks from all over SE mass Attleboro to New Bedford and up in the blackstone too these folks live work & play side by side, I dunno Its been a while for me...

    For the young members of this fourm considering becoming career firefighters it is worth considering military service and especially firefighting. An air force active duty firefighter would have the qualifications for these jobs. Veterans points are a part of civil service and military service will always look good on a resume. It can also help pay for college. There are plenty of former military firefighters in the career fire service. I'm sure there are some on this board that can provide further information.
