sprinkler/hydrant booster systems

rescue5271:
Recently I have had a few calls from brigade's that have a booster system in there area that I service the fire alarm asking if I could show them how it works and what they should to use it. I am more than willing to help out but I have to ask the question how many people would like to see CFS have some sort of training that can be sent to brigade's.

Boosters are poping up all over the place not only in urban area's but in rural area's,they have been put in for a number of reasons and the most common at the moment is that they insurance comapny wants it. Mind you when the site put its plan into council they did not have to have a fire booster. So we have two problems that really need to be looked into.

1) insurance companys saying put them in,but the council and fire service say they are not needed.

2) Brigade's are not getting any training on how the work and if there appliances will do the job.

What do other people think about this,should there be training and if so how should it be done and who should provide the training????

PF_:
Level 2 or 3

Maybe CFS could develop an urban training course where you learn about FIP's, boosters, alarms etc. 

Do MFS have it, who trains them?

F.B.R.T:
We do have training on booster systems and FIP,s but it is generally done in house by our own staff.

CFS_Firey:
We have also been trained in how to use them, just  in the regular weekly training sessions. Its really not that hard to pick up, but its also something that should really be trained on the booster systems that you will be using, as they aren't all the same... For example in our area we have one which isn't pressurized - you have to use  hard suction hoses rather than canvas, as well as the normal pressurized ones...

Toast:
Go go gadget 4inch Hard Suction
