Don, I can get you a copy of OCFD's. It will be for a paid department response but if you want it, I'll get you a copy.
I wrote a set for the combination FD that I work for part time. We have 5 engines, 2 ladders and a rescue. The SOP I wrote is pretty basic. I also work for Houston FD full time and can send you those as well but they are quite extensive. Send me you…

Straight tips vs. Fog nozzles
Straight tips vs. fog nozzles. Just putting this out for debate. My Dept does not have straight tips on any line. The few we have are locked away in compartments. Most lines are pre-connected with fog nozzles, I have a personal opinion. I believe we should split the nozzles half straight tip and half fog. I like straight tips for putting water on the fire and if the straight tip is used correctly it can keep both fire and water damage to a minimum.

Michael Bricault said… - Thanks Don. I'll give you a shout sometime. I am pleased to hear that you red my material as well. Unfortunately, far to many people don't read the entire post or comment and respond to what sets them off while missing the entire message.
Happy to hear that you don't suffer from that affliction.

I got the email, things are crazy here. If you could send the photo of the diff color lines with the job in the background that would be great! Also I am putting together all the photos for the powerpoint programs for fire Engineerings new book. We send photo requests out. You would have your name credited on the side and you would still own any photo you send in. Let me know I will put you on the list.
Thanks for getting back to me.
