🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire team roles: nozzleman, hoseman, and back-up hosemen responsibilities • Hose handling under pressure: how water pressure affects control and safety of the hose • Safe nozzle control: recommended hand positions and body stance to counter nozzle reaction

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens physically when the fire hose is fully charged with water but not yet in position. Would this help or make control more difficult? • Consider standard shipboard firefighting teams: how many people are normally assigned to operate a 1½ inch hose effectively and safely? • Visualize the nozzle reaction when the hose is under pressure. Which hand position sounds more like a rigid ‘rule of thumb’ than an actual safety requirement?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options describe team positioning and support along the hose (especially at bends) and whether that matches normal practice. • Check whether any option describes an absolute rule about how a nozzleman must grip the nozzle that seems oddly specific or different from what you’ve learned. • Confirm which statements align with the general goal of maintaining control of the hose under pressure versus making it harder to handle.
