🔍 Key Concepts

• Typical reach of a straight stream from a fire hose at around 100 PSI nozzle pressure • Difference between theoretical maximum reach and practical/“normal” firefighting conditions (wind, nozzle handling, stream breakup) • Common ranges for 1½–2½ inch firefighting hose streams in training tables or manuals

💭 Think About

• Think about what distance a firefighter could reliably and accurately hit a target with a straight stream at 100 PSI in real conditions, not a laboratory test. • Compare the answer choices to what would still allow effective firefighting, not just barely reaching the distance. • Eliminate any distances that seem too short to be useful on a fireground and any that seem unrealistically long for a handline at 100 PSI.

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure the distance you choose would allow a firefighter to control and aim the stream effectively, not just toss water that far. • Double-check that your choice fits what you’d expect from a standard handline (not a deck gun/monitor) at about 100 PSI. • Ask yourself if the distance you pick seems consistent with typical training scenarios where firefighters practice hitting targets with straight streams.
