🚒💧 Burp Drafting: Steps 1 and 2 💧🚒 If you've ever been on a rural fire scene with a failed primer, you know how stressful that is. When seconds matter, the burp drafting technique can help keep water flowing and ensure the mission goes on. 💪🔥 Here are Steps 1 and 2: 1️⃣ Use your apparatus's onboard tank water. Fully open the tank to pump and tank fill. 2️⃣ Recirculate the water at a high speed. This creates negative pressure at the pump’s impeller, drawing water from the booster tank back

Friction killing your flow?🔥 You’re doing everything right. Lines are laid, pumps are running, water’s moving... but suddenly, you’re losing pressure. The culprit? FRICTION. It’s silently robbing you of the flow you desperately need. But here’s the fix👇 💡 By bringing in your third-due engine and positioning it at the Oasis 4-Way Valve, you tie into the relay operation without interrupting water delivery. This move: ✅ Reduces distance between engines ✅ Increases water volume at the fire scene
