FireOpsSimPDP and friction loss
Nozzle pressure, hose loss, elevation, appliance loss, and segment-by-segment math.
DO Pumper Study
DO Pumper Flashcards
Practice pump pressure, friction loss, attack lines, wye operations, standpipe, relay pumping, LDH water supply, foam, master streams, and pump troubleshooting. These are original practice cards for study and station training, not official test questions.

Study by category, shuffle the deck, print the full card list, or use the cards for oral review with a crew. The goal is simple repetition around practical driver/operator decisions.
PDP = NP + FL ± Elevation + Appliance Loss
FL per 100' = C × (GPM / 100)²
FL per 100' = C × (GPM / 100)²
Wye, relay, and standpipe
Highest-pressure branch logic, engine spacing, system loss, and LDH supply concepts.
Fireground problem solving
Weak streams, dropping intake pressure, foam operation, and communication checks.

Frequently asked questions
What formula do these cards reinforce?
The main formula is PDP = NP + FL ± elevation + appliance loss, with friction loss commonly practiced as FL per 100 feet = C × Q².
Can instructors use these cards in class?
Yes. They are built for station drills, oral quizzes, academy review, and practical prep.
Are the answers universal?
No. Pump operations vary by SOP, apparatus, hose, nozzles, and local testing process, so instructors should adjust as needed.
