Join Training to Perform Under Pressure as Greg Payeur explains the limitations of your water can.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:

   The only reason that I should be inside of this fire with this water can is to facilitate a search. If I’m in there trying to extinguish a fire with a water can, Bender, how big of a fire can I extinguish? 2A water can is rated for a two foot by two foot by two foot cube, Class A cube. That’s it. That’s it. That’s it. So I think I’m gonna put that couch out. You’re gonna see here in a little bit when we light off some, uh, fire dynamic stuff back there, and we’re seeing what we can actually extinguish with this can. It’s gonna be a little bit different of what we can vers- what we think we can put out versus what we can actually. So the only reason I’m gonna go interior with this can is to facilitate a search. I- ahead of that hose line. Um, and so this can’s gonna go in and it’s gonna keep that fire at bay to facilitate search. That’s why we call it a can-assisted search, right? So it’s gonna facilitate it for us.
