Making The Push

Making The Push

For many of you, when you hear“Nozzle Forward”在消防服务中，您确切知道该名称包含什么。对于那些不熟悉喷嘴前进的人，您会错过！所以…。您问什么喷嘴？好吧……。喷嘴向前
has been battle tested and proven to be effective and efficient.

The goal of Nozzle Forward is to increase engine company effectiveness and efficiency. The course consists of three major components of engine company work.

1. Fire Behavior
2. 软管管理和灭火
3. 发动机公司战术

最近，我有幸参加了科罗拉多州科罗拉多斯普林斯的喷嘴前班，从班级开始（讲座），我知道这堂课将是惊人的！这堂课不仅达到了我的期望，而且超越了他们的飞跃。在课堂上，我们看到了如何容易控制气体并将其推向排气点，从而使房间中任何居民的生存机会更大。这不是要与推火相混淆，因为我们知道我们不能这样做。在使用水时，在几秒钟内，我们向我们展示了温度快速降低的视频。用正确的流（直或固体）将水放在IDLH环境中的简单行为可以并且将继续挽救生命。该班级的大部分时间都在外面表现出一系列演变。我们使用了爬网，步行，运行的学习方法。我们为软管部署，软管管理，身体力学和适当的位置建立了坚实的基础，为我们准备了第二天的发展。随着每个演变的随之而来，我们现在正在收集越来越多的作品，以使我们组合在一起的有效，高效的发动机公司难题。

On day two we hit it hard from the start, using everything that we learned on day one. We were now advancing lines into the structure while flowing water, making turns while flowing, and reaching our objective in a timely manner. The beauty of it all is that the class was made up of firefighters from over twenty different departments, and everyone was on the same page, speaking the same language, and shared the same common goal. The pieces to the puzzle were now falling into place. By the end of the 13 hour day, the energy was getting low, the morale was high, and a bond had been formed with everyone involved. It did not matter whether it was a 1 ¾ line, or a 2 ½ attack line, everyone was making the push, the line was going in, and the fire was going out! Sounds like “Winning” to me!

喷嘴前向教练为我们提供了许多我们正在放在一起的有效高效的发动机公司拼图，但这并不完整。难题的缺失部分是必须进行重复，以最大程度地发挥操作的有效性。就像生活中的任何事物一样，您必须投入工作（汗水平等）才能实现自己的目标。这个难题可能永远不会完成，但这并不是由于缺乏重复的原因，而是总有改进的心态。请记住，我们不这样做是为了奖励，表彰，轻拍我们自己的号角的弓形，但简单地，我们为他们做！因此，请花点时间进行良好的工作，并变得肮脏掌握自己的手艺并取得高水平的性能。

If you see a Nozzle Forward class near you, I suggest that you sign up the first day, as theses classes fill rapidly. If there isn’t a class near you, you may want to travel to check out the class. For our class in Colorado, we had guys travel from Cedar Rapids, IA, and Wisconsin, just to see what the Nozzle Forward movement is about. These guys will tell you that the trip was well worth it, and probably one of the best classes that they have ever attended!

Aaron Fields and the Nozzle Forward instructors prove that we can all speak the same language in the fire service. Regardless if your riding backwards in Cedar Rapids, IA, or Colorado Springs, CO, we can get a handline in place, down hallways, around turns, upstairs, and into interior rooms in a timely manner. Hell, we can do it all while flowing water! If you are wondering where you can find Aaron Fields, just go to the end of the line, he’s got the pipe!
