- Abstract
- The material in this article is intended to fill the need for a comprehensive, concise and yet simple outline of the principles involved in the design operation and use of fire department pumping engines. A distinct course, dealing with these principles, has a definite place in the curriculum of every State, Regional and Local Fire School Program. Such a course should have as a purpose to present the fundamentals essential to effective operation in such a manner that the average fireman will attain a firm foundation of knowledge upon which to qualify as an enginer or operator.
