Cleveland Fire Department d. Hose and Appliances: Operations Manual 1. The first line into the building shall be at least 150 feet of 13/4 inch hose with the appropriate nozzle, adapters, and spanner wrench. (The high-rise pack may replace this line.) 2. The diameter of hose and those appliances may be dictated by the size and intensity of the fire. 3. A 2-½ inch hose line with nozzle, adapters, and spanner wrench shall be available for backup. 4. All attack lines shall be Fire Department hose and equipment. 5. Personnel shall not use the hose connected to Class II or Class III standpipes. Disconnect the house hose in order to utilize the Fire Department hose. e. Standpipe Systems: When an occupancy is equipped with a standpipe system, Fire Department personnel should utilize the system to the best advantage in order to eliminate the need for excessively long hose lays. 1. Where the standpipe system is independent and is also equipped with a Fire Department Connection support the system by pumping to the Fire Department Connection, providing a pressure of twenty-five (25) psi at the connection and five (5) psi per story for each floor above the ground level. In addition, hydraulic calculations must also be included for the hose line (s) being utilized off the standpipe outlet. 2. Where the standpipe system is combined with the sprinkler system, support the appropriate Fire Department Connection with the standard pressure of 150 psi at the connection. 3. Those members who are assigned to the interior attack team utilizing the standpipe outlet must be able to communicate with the pump operator supplying the system. 4. Hi-Rise packs shall be used first when connecting to the standpipe system. 5. When a line is connected to a standpipe outlet in a stairwell on the fire floor, the excess hose should be pulled up the stairway toward the next floor before it is charged. The hose will easily come down the stairs as the advance is made. Effective: June 1, 1997 Revised: 5/14/2009 Page | 245 Approved by: Chief Chuck Atchley
Cleveland Fire Department Operations Manual 6. It is obvious that the stairwell at the fire area is important for advancing lines to the fire floor. It is just as important to occupants of the building who may be using it for evacuation. Firefighters must be careful not to impede their progress and not to allow great volumes of smoke to get into the stairway. If another stairway, farther from the fire, is available, evacuees should be directed to it. 7. If the outlet is in the corridors, the attack should begin from an outlet on the floor below the fire floor. The first line (or lines) should be advanced up a stairway to the fire floor. Most of the line should be taken up the stairs, so that it can more easily be advanced through the corridor of the fire floor. If required, additional lines may be taken up the stairs from still lower floors. This may also be necessary if the floor below the fire is untenable. 8. If the fire is located some distance down the corridor from the stairway, the initial hookup may be made on the fire floor. However, this should not be attempted unless firefighters are certain that the fire is confined to a unit off the corridor, or at least is some distance from their point of entry to the fire floor.
