NFPA 1410-style training

Company drills for engine crews.

A FireOps Calc drill library for hose deployment, water supply, FDC support, master stream setup, relay supply, and pump operator evaluation. These pages are original training organizers and are not a substitute for the official NFPA 1410 standard.

1410-style company drill board for pump, hose, water supply, standpipe, master stream, and relay drills — Use this board as a visual launcher for company-level evolutions. Set time benchmarks and pass/fail criteria from your department SOP and the official standard.

Training note: This is an original FireOps Calc training aid for NFPA 1410-style evolutions. It does not reproduce NFPA text, tables, or official requirements. Use your department SOPs, safety officer, instructor, and the official NFPA 1410 document for compliance.

Drill library

Ready-to-run evolutions

Each drill includes objective, setup, evolution flow, pump-operator focus, common mistakes, and an evaluator checklist.

Engine company

Single-Engine Attack Line Drill

Deploy one attack line, establish a pump discharge pressure, and maintain water while the crew advances and flows.

Open drill →Flow management

Two-Line Attack Evolution

Deploy and pump two attack lines while maintaining safe pressure, flow, and communication.

Open drill →Water supply

Hydrant Supply to Attack Line Drill

Establish a hydrant supply, transition from tank water, and maintain the attack-line pressure.

Open drill →Standpipe / FDC

Standpipe / FDC Operations Drill

Practice supplying an FDC or standpipe scenario using department policy pressure and proper hose layout.

Open drill →Large flow

Master Stream Deployment Drill

Deploy a portable monitor or deck gun, calculate safe flow, and confirm water supply before sustained operation.

Open drill →Relay / LDH

Relay / LDH Supply Drill

Set up a relay-style supply evolution with target flow, intake pressure, spacing discussion, and communication.

Open drill →FDC / sprinkler

Sprinkler FDC Supply Drill

Practice identifying the sprinkler FDC, supplying according to department policy, and avoiding confusion with standpipe operations.

Open drill →Supply lay

Reverse Lay Water Supply Drill

Practice reverse lay decision-making, hose deployment, and engineer actions for a supply-focused evolution.

How to use these drills

Pick one skill.Keep the drill focused: first line, water supply, FDC, master stream, or relay.

Set local benchmarks.Define time targets, staffing, hose loads, PPE, and safety requirements using your SOP.

Run the evolution.Record water established, line charged, target pressure, communications, and safety issues.

Debrief immediately.Ask what went well, what slowed the crew, and what the engineer would change.

Evaluator focus

Correct apparatus placement and pump engagement.
Water supply established or planned before sustained flow.
Target PDP selected from calculator, pump card, or SOP.
Hose deployment is safe, organized, and free of major kinks.
Clear communication between crew and pump operator.
Safety issues corrected before increasing flow.
