HFT Fire and Rescue Tech

Welcome to one of the most significant technological breakthroughs in Wildland Fire Service history. A world's first ever 'TOTAL' Engine Pressure (EP) calculator, both in the Apple (iOS) and Android phone app versions and mechanical slide-rule formats, to simplify the required mathematical processes in which you, as a driver/operator, are accountab... le under NFPA 1002: Not only are you expected to retain and effectively demonstrate the required requisite knowledge to perform the necessary procedures to engage any pump on any fire apparatus, but also mandated to estimate the TOTAL Engine Pressure to ensure your actions: 'Produce an effective fire stream at the rated flow of the nozzle.' ...under ALL conditions. ...or STOP ALL PROGRESSION as the fire apparatus maximum pump pressure has been exceeded to ensure SAFETY of your crew! For the first time, we are no longer limited to a pencil, paper, and a calculator, scribbling furiously on the dash or hood of our engine to even begin to remember how to solve multiple calculations with multiple variables as we did in the comfort of a classroom years ago. Yet, we are all accountable to NFPA 1002 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.156 to demonstrate the requisite knowledge of one of the most challenging mathematical calculation processes we will ever face as a driver/operator. And especially when the stuff is hitting the fan when we have neither the time nor the resources to even begin estimating "TOTAL" Engine Pressure (EP). Let alone the requirement to produce an effective fire stream at the rated flow of the nozzle, that I am first to admit that none of us could ever hope to realistically accomplish in the field! As everyone knows, it's essentially unrealistic to even begin to estimate "TOTAL" Engine Pressure (EP) accurately, let alone in REAL-TIME, when we have neither the resources nor the tools to do so and still remain safety compliant. We are proud to announce, the era determined by excessive complexity has finally ended! You can now secure the confidence you will produce an ...Read More
