All 15 Scenarios — 12 NFA Evolutions + 3 NFPA JPR
Every evolution is modelled on the National Fire Academy pump operator curriculum. Pre-built, auto-scored, and ready to assign. No configuration required to get started.
Single Handline from Tank
The starting point for every pump operator. Engage the pump from the apparatus booster tank, open a single discharge line, and deliver correct nozzle pressure on a standard pre-connect attack line. Covers throttle control, tank-to-pump valve sequencing, and discharge gauge reading.
Single Handline from Hydrant
Builds on Evolution 1 by introducing a pressurised hydrant water source. Connect to a municipal hydrant, manage intake pressure, and supply a single attack line while monitoring both intake and discharge gauges simultaneously.
Dual Handlines from Hydrant
The first multi-line evolution. Supply two attack lines simultaneously from a single hydrant source. When one line opens or closes, the other is affected. Flow management and throttle discipline become critical.
Attack Line with Elevation Change
Introduces elevation head pressure into the PDP calculation. The attack line runs to an upper floor, and the operator must account for the additional pressure needed to push water uphill. Common for any department responding to multi-story structures.
Master Stream (Deck Gun)
High-flow defensive operations with a deck-mounted monitor. The operator flows at a high GPM rate while monitoring intake pressure for signs of supply collapse. Teaches operators to recognise and respect the boundaries of their water supply.
Master Stream + Attack Line
Combines a master stream with a handline, pushing total flow demand toward the pump's rated capacity. Balance pressure across two very different discharge configurations while monitoring intake for supply collapse.
Relay Pumping Operation
Source pumper in a multi-engine relay. Receive water from a hydrant and push it through a long hose lay to the attack pumper. Maintaining consistent pressure at the receiving end is the primary challenge.
Drafting from Static Source
One of the most challenging pump operations. Prime the pump, establish a vacuum to lift water from a static source, and transition to flowing a discharge line while monitoring for cavitation and maintaining prime.
Standpipe System Supply
Supply water through a building's internal piping system via the Fire Department Connection. Account for standpipe system friction loss and elevation head for upper floors. Getting the pressure right is critical for crews operating above.
Sprinkler System Supply (FDC)
Augment a building's activated sprinkler system through the FDC. Two supply lines to the Siamese connection must be balanced. Deliver the correct system pressure without over-pressurising the piping.
Foam Stream Operations
In-line eductor foam proportioning. The eductor requires a specific inlet pressure to properly proportion foam concentrate. Too little and the eductor won't pick up concentrate; too much and the foam ratio is wrong.
Multi-Line Capacity Management
The capstone evolution. Three discharge lines operate simultaneously from a single hydrant. Interior attack, backup/exposure, and deck gun master stream. Total flow demand pushes the pump and water supply to their limits.
NFPA 1002 §5.2.3 — Class A Foam Fire Stream
Produce an effective Class A foam fire stream for wildland/urban interface exposure protection. Supply a 1¾" attack line through an inline eductor at 0.3% proportioning rate. Account for eductor backpressure.
NFPA 1002 §5.2.1 — Relay Pumping Operation
Operate as the relay pump in a two-engine relay operation. Receive water from a supply engine and boost pressure for the attack pumper through an extended LDH hose lay. Covers relay pressure management and communication protocols.
NFPA 1002 §5.2.4 — Standpipe System Supply
Supply a Class I standpipe system in a 5-story commercial building. Set residual pressure at the standpipe outlet, account for elevation head loss per floor, and maintain stable pressure while lines are opened and closed on upper floors.
