Vehicle Fire - Single Attack Line
Engine 181 operates from its onboard tank using a 200-foot 1 3/4-inch line and a 95-GPM fog nozzle. Students calculate friction loss, PDP, tank duration, and remaining water.

Five complete scenarios
Every scenario is ready to use. Open the PDF in a new tab, then print it or save it to the device.
Engine 181 operates from its onboard tank using a 200-foot 1 3/4-inch line and a 95-GPM fog nozzle. Students calculate friction loss, PDP, tank duration, and remaining water.
A hydrant-supplied engine supports a 200-foot 1 3/4-inch attack line to a second-floor apartment. Students calculate line loss, elevation pressure, PDP, total flow, and a second-line requirement.
A 500-GPM portable monitor is supplied by two equal 2 1/2-inch lines. Students split the flow, calculate friction loss, add appliance loss, and compare 200-foot and 250-foot supply lines.
Engine 181 supplies two 95-GPM branch lines through a wye. Students calculate branch loss, main-line loss, appliance loss, total PDP, and the pressure change when one branch shuts down.
Engine 181 drafts from a 2,000-gallon portable tank during a house fire. Students calculate attack-line PDP, a second line, water duration, combined flow, and tank water remaining.
Use the blank FirePumpSim template for a custom scenario. It includes space for a large scene image, five questions, answer/work areas, required equations, and scenario givens.
Simple instructor workflow
Select a scenario and use the full PDF rather than printing the webpage preview.
Page 1 contains the scenario givens, student questions, work areas, and required equations.
The second page shows the instructor answer key with formulas, calculations, and acceptable rounding.
