Noise Protection & BA sets
Noise protection : The protective Equipments used are earmuffs
and earplugs.
Ear muffs consists of a plastic cup with a cushion material made
up of foam rubber. It covers external to give protection from high
noise level such as 130 db to 135 db.
Ear plugs are inserted in ear and give protection from noise
levels of 115 db to 120 db.
BA sets:
Fire fighters, Rescuers often require to work in oxygen deficient,
toxic atmospheres. To survive in such atmospheres they must be
given an equipment ensuring adequate protection and supply of
air throughout the operation. Hence the Breathing Apparatus sets
are used.

DAMAGE TO THE HOSE
Abrasion : Abrasion of the hose is caused by :
 Dragging of charged/ dry hose.
Allowing the vehicles to pass over when laid out.
To prevent the abrasion the hose should never be
dragged and no vehicle allowed to pass over it.

 Mildew : It is a type of fungus which is formed due to


dampness, stagnant air, temperature and food for the
fungus to exist. To prevent mildew the hose should be
properly dried, stored in well ventilated places not directly
under sunlight. A moisture absorbing powder is applied to
inner coating of the hose to be kept for a long time.
 Shock : Rough handling of hoses and throwing are main
causes of Shock. Sudden opening of delivery also causes
shock.

Precautions to minimize the wear and tear of the hoses

1. Hoses should never be dragged.


2.Kinks should be avoided while laying the hose.
3.Remove last traces of water by properly draining the water
from the hose.
4.Charged hoses laid across a road should be protected by
hose ramps.
5. Where hoses are required to cross walls, parapets or sharp corners
padding should be provided by gunny bags or similar material.
6. Charged hoses should never be allowed to kink to prevent damage.
7. Hose coupling should never be dropped on the ground.
 
The people should be careful of the jet reaction of fire hoses which
may result in serious injury if proper attention is not paid.

Hose Fitting and Accessories
 Nozzles : Various types of nozzles are
used for fighting the fire depending upon
the requirement.
 
 Jet Nozzle : It delivers straight jet of water
used for tackling the ordinary class A fires.

Foam making Branch
In tackling oil fire with foam, a rapid rate of delivery of foam is of
great advantage. FB 5x is used to fight the oil fires.
Dividing breaching : It divides one length of hose delivering water
into two .
Collecting Breaching : It is used for the collecting water from two
hoses and delivers into one when the demand of water is more.
 Water curtain : It is a plate welded to the male coupling. When the
hose is connected it gives a curtain of water, used mainly for the
protection of fire fighters from heat radiation.

Fog nozzle: These nozzles are capable of
delivering the water in atomized form for best
water dispersion the recommended pressure
should be more than 5 Kg/cm2. It is effective
for- 
Cooling of hot vapours and preventing ignition.
 Cooling of low flash oils fires and reduce their
intensity.
 Protecting the equipment preventing secondary fire
and spread of fire.
Dispersing vapour and preventing their ignition from
nearby source of ignition

07/30/21 12
Universal type branch
This branch can give a jet and spray the delivery of the water can be
shut off. The jet is used for tackling ordinary class A fires. The spray is
used for the purpose as:
a.     Dispersing the vapours.
b.     Cooling the equipments/ area to prevent to spread of fire.
c.      Providing the water curtain to fire fighters against heat
radiation.
d.      Extinguishing Class A fires and fires involving high flash points
products.
