Fire Engineer Tools

A working set of driver/operator tools for pump troubleshooting, water supply decisions, foam eductor setup, drafting, preconnect verification, checkoffs, and training review.

Problem solver

Pump Troubleshooting Helper

Select a symptom like cavitation, pressure drop, weak intake, or no water from discharge and get a step-by-step check list.

Water supply

Water Supply Decision Tool

Compare required fire flow against hydrant, relay, tender shuttle, and tank water to decide if supply is enough.

Quick timer

Tank Water Timer

Estimate how long tank water lasts at the current flow while preserving a reserve.

Rural ops

Drafting Calculator & Checklist

Review lift, hard suction setup, strainer depth, primer cues, and common drafting problems.

Foam

Foam Eductor Setup Tool

Calculate pump pressure before the eductor, check downstream compatibility, and estimate foam concentrate use.

PDP add-ons

Appliance Loss Builder

Select wyes, valves, Siamese appliances, monitors, and other devices to build the appliance-loss portion of PDP.

Apparatus setup

Preconnect Flow Verification

Build a small pump card from your preconnects with hose, nozzle, GPM, friction loss, and target PDP.

Preplan

Hydrant Flow Test Logger

Calculate available hydrant flow and save simple local records for training and preplanning review.

Daily check

Engineer Daily Checkoff

A printable and saveable apparatus checkoff for pump, water, foam, fuel, lights, tools, and hose.

Relay

Relay Pumping Calculator

Estimate relay distance, hose loss, engine spacing, and target pressures.

Rural water

Tender Shuttle Timer

Estimate sustained water supply from fill, dump, travel time, and number of tenders.

Handline control

Nozzle Reaction Calculator

Estimate nozzle reaction and help students understand line handling force.

Training-use reminder

These tools are built as quick references and training aids. Always follow your department SOPs, instructor direction, manufacturer data, and local conditions.
