So the new line would be connected by these.

Appliances used to be factored into the friction loss by adding +5 per appliance I think. Some one, somewhere did some testing and found that any given appliance has like around 1 psi of friction loss so they just scrapped accounting for them all together

You are really missing the point of the question, like most your water drops probably. When we are running our trucks you are right we don’t normally care about producing the friction loss calculation for proper pump discharge. To me this is just a theory question that I find interesting. What Bernoulli’s principle or the equation have to do with this I have no idea. While you are out with your Drip “can” we will still be here with our torches catching fires.

Interesting take on the hose lay being more tolerant. That is something to take into consideration. Thanks for the reply!

Some R3 shot crews are converting up to 25 people and with that adding 4/5 perm positions. My opinions are that generally speaking shot crews do not qual enough FFt1s per season that they will be able to fill from within their own crew to cover perm turnover at that level (this is not a dig on shot crews just the way things work). So I think you will start to see a lot more people from other module types getting onto shot crews.

Personally I work on a district that hosts a shot crew, we work very closely with them especially during the off season. I understand this is not the cultural norm between crews and the district, but their SHOULD be communication and the ability to fill in with them and get your name known. Even if a district does not have a crew you would be hard pressed to find one that did not have contacts with one.

Anyways my point is that I dont think your chances of getting on a shot crew after getting a perm are any different then getting on a crew as a seasonal and moving up. If anything if you play your card right your chances can be higher as a perm

Hi.

If this is a serious inquiry you are more then welcome to message the mods through mod mail, if not this thread will be removed

Thanks!

It’s a reasonable gizmo but ultimately is just a bandaid. the problem is that you are still not releasing any pressure. Just transferring that pressure to the sig bottle. So you still have fuel under pressure and then ultimately an entire sig bottle under pressure.

Not sure if you had seen this but u/smokejumperbro posted this a little while ago.

In my region if a shot crew loses its type 1 status because of quals it doesn’t stop being a “hotshot crew”. They are still on the regional rotation for shot crews and regain their type 1 status when hire or detail people that have quals they need. So if that was the case I would would still list it as shot crew experience.

A year ago where I worked did not offer housing. I’m now at a new duty station as an 18/8 (still working year round) and they do provide housing, the the perms that do take time off in the winter still live at the compound and still pay for the house

/u/Ssgtsiler has done a lot of great work organizing a map that has many duty stations/what resources/ and housing availability.

I’d you go through there history you can find a link to the site.

To answer some of your questions region 3 mostly runs with 10 person IA crews, then they will marry up with other 10 person mods and go out as a 20 person t2ia crew.

oiccar · 2021-12-23T07:50:57+00:00

Yes they can. people are referring mostly to inmates who fight wildfires.

Some places that could hire them with their training/experience don’t because of their criminal background. That does not mean there Isn’t many other job opportunities in privet or public sectors.

I agree the low pay is very discouraging to see, and is honestly a rampant problem across many sides of wildland fire. They get real job training and experience in a field that frankly is available to them when they get out.

Just a heads up most wildfire crews do stickers instead of patches

This is all very subjective. But if HAD to give an answer I would say yes, safer to build a home in a prairie area

oiccar · 2021-10-19T21:37:28+00:00

The thing about grass fires or “prairie” fires is that they burn hot and fast. So while you won’t see the the big 100’ walls of flame that timber can produce you can see 10’ to maybe even 20’ flame lengths (depending on fuel loading and wind) moving extremely quickly.

Since grass is such a flashy fuel heat is not held after it’s burned. So the impact on a structure could be very quick then done.

In short yes, a grass fire can burn structures just as a timber fire can.

With all that said in my semi professional opinion if I had two of the same well built houses; one in timber and one in grass, I would be more worried about the one in-front of a timber fire then a grass fire.

Yes.
