DISPATCH TO NOZZLE
“Methods are many, Principles are few”
Class cirriculum
DISPATCH TO NOZZLE (CAD awareness, hydrant mapping, and friction loss for firefighters and engineers) is a 2-hour course designed for certified firefighters and engineers/driver-operators. Built around the Axiom Flow PBC platform, this course closes two of the most critical knowledge gaps in modern fire suppression: the window between dispatch and arrival on scene, and real-time hydraulic decision-making under pressure.
Participants learn to leverage live CAD alert technology to receive dispatch notifications within seconds, identify water supply resources en route using mobile hydrant mapping, and calculate friction loss for single hoselines, various lead and supply line layouts, standpipe and high-rise operations, and available water supply — using both manual methods and the app's built-in hydraulic calculator. Developed and taught by a certified Florida Fire Service Instructor, the course requires nothing more than a smartphone and a browser. No hardware, no app install, no department network access required.
-
Successful completion of Driver/Operator (DCS) training.
Familiarity with friction loss principles, nozzle reaction, and standard hose-line calculations (flow rates, GPM, nozzle pressures, and equivalent lengths).
Experience operating fire apparatus pumps and managing basic water supply and relay pumping operations.
Ability to interpret pump charts, read pressure gauges, and apply simple pump-and-hose arithmetic under incident conditions.
-
Confident application of advanced pump operation techniques and pump panel management.
Improved judgment for selecting hose sizes, lengths, and appliances to meet tactical flow requirements while minimizing excessive friction loss.
Enhanced coordination of water supply tactics, hydrant operations, and relay systems.
Greater ability to troubleshoot common pump operation problems and make rapid, safe pump setting adjustments in dynamic incident environments.
-
Regular operational duty as a pump operator, driver/operator, or engine officer.
Participation in live-fire or hands-on pump practice evolutions.
Familiarity with department standard operating procedures for pumping and water supply
