Firefighter Calculator

Featured in Fire Chief Magazine as well as IFSTA Speaking with Fire. Top App in Category. Simply the most comprehensive firefighter tool launched yet, with an easy-to-use user interface created by and for firefighters. Store your department’s nozzle settings in the application. Determine how many tanker trucks will be needed for a foam application. Calculate the flow rate needed to extinguish fires of various sizes, and of course, determine the pump pressures needed for complex hose lays. This application contains four easy-to-use calculators.

Calculation tools for determining:
* Discharge pressure for firefighting pumps
* Foam application rates and amounts
* Critical application rate/flow estimation
* Pressure and flow rates for smooth bore nozzles

Fire Pump Discharge Pressure Calculator:
* Handles multiple attack and supply line setup
* Calculates friction loss formulaically
* Determines proper pump pressure and estimated reach

Foam Application Calculator:
* Enter area and depth of spill, along with concentration and type of foam being used
* Calculates amount of concentrate and water needed

Critical Application Rate Calculator:
* Determines minimum flow rate to extinguish fire in < 10 seconds
* Enter area and percent involved
* Commonly involved structures with automatic size estimator

Smooth Bore Tip Calculator:
* Enter nozzle tip size and either pressure or flow rate
* Calculator solves for pressure or flow
