Elkhart Brass Presents: Know Your Flow: Specialty Nozzles and Real-World Application with Jerry Herbst
Understanding flow is only part of the equation. Knowing when and how to apply it with the right nozzle makes the difference. In this hands-on session, Jerry Herbst expands on the Know Your Flow principles while focusing on specialty nozzle applications for challenging fireground situations.
Participants will examine tools such as floor below nozzles, distributor nozzles, cellar nozzles, and horizontal void nozzles, exploring where they fit and how they impact reach, penetration, and overall fire control. The class will also connect flow data to tactical decision-making, helping firefighters better understand how nozzle selection influences stream performance and fire suppression outcomes.
This session is built for firefighters who want to move beyond theory and gain practical insight into how specialty nozzles and flow knowledge work together on the fireground.
