6. BE PREPARED
Your Fireghter pump and pipework is an important
part of re protection, but so are the other things
you must do to be ready. Davey recommends you
work through your re plan and make sure it’s able
to work under a realistic assessment of the worst
possible situation. Fire only really understands the
worst possible situation. Here’s a checklist for your
Fireghter pump and equipment.
6.1 Practice
Make sure you and all your team are competent in
the use of the equipment:
Can they start and correctly operate your Fireghter
pump?
• Can they operate the hoses correctly?
• Do they have a clear understanding of risks and
what to do to ensure safety?
• Can each person in your team operate alone, or
do you have a plan for single and multiple team
members?
Run drills. Practice and make sure everyone
understands the re plan and their part in that plan.
