Smarter Exterior Water? | Cool First Floor Residential Fires Faster | Fully Involved (Ep. 9)

Tired of getting blasted at the door on a living-room worker? This episode shows how to “reset and go” with exterior water so your crew can control the hallway, protect the search, and push interior without losing time. It’s real, quick, and built for short-staffed engines. 🧠 Use this video to train on: – Exterior water application (aka transitional attack) without burning time at the curb – Coordinating the hit with search so the stairs stay tenable – Handline-first vs. monitor choices for first-due engines – Smooth bore vs. fog for remote water, plus a 7/8" tip setup around ~160 gpm on 1¾" line – Stream placement from outside, then sliding in to finish the room Fireground problems this video tackles: 🚫 “Sitting outside for 15 minutes” myths and social-media noise 🚫 Losing the common hallway and stairwell during the first minute 🚫 Over-reliance on master streams when a handline will do 🚫 Nozzle fatigue and dropping the stream low when it needs to be high You’ll learn how to: ✅ Do a fast exterior reset, then move interior with purpose (no wasted steps) ✅ Time the hit to protect the search and keep the flow path controlled ✅ Decide when a handline beats a monitor for speed and manpower ✅ Choose and check the right nozzle (why many instructors favor a 7/8" smooth bore) ✅ Manage nozzle reaction and maneuverability when staffing is thin ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Biggest misconceptions 01:47 – Meet Capt. Pete Morotto (Bridgeport FD) 02:06 – Scenario Setup: Living room fire (front), goal is getting upstairs (Ep. 10) 02:49 – Setup: 1¾" line, 7/8" smooth bore, ~160 gpm 03:01 – Q1: Run-Through: What does a fast reset from the exterior actually look like? 05:02 – Q2: Coordinating the hit to make the stairs/search tenable? 06:36 – Q3: Handline vs. Monitor? 07:47 – Q4: Best nozzle for this tactic? Smooth bore vs. fog (pros/cons) 10:33 – Q5: Common nozzle-technique problems & fixing fatigue/form 13:13 – Q6: Getting max value when you’ve got 2–3 firefighters 16:29 – Tailboard Talk: PJ Norwood on exterior water, timing, and equipment choices 18:51 – Best tools for exterior water and low-staff tactics (quick hits) Notes from the kitchen table: – Transitional attack isn’t defensive—it’s fast aggression with water first, then go. – Keep the pattern tight, keep the nozzle up—cool up high, then slide. – Position of opportunity: hit what’s showing, protect the stairs, advance.
