1. Classification and Basic Structure of Fire Engines and Fire Trucks
Overview of different types of fire engines and fire trucks (e.g., water tankers, foam tenders, aerial water towers, rescue trucks, military fire engines)
Key components: fire engine vehicle chassis, superstructure, fire engine water pump system, power generation system, fire engine flashing lights, communication systems, and safety systems
2. Operating Principles and Procedures
Working principles of the power take-off (PTO) and fire engine water pump system
Usage of various fire engine equipment such as spraying devices, monitors, fire engine hose, and foam proportioners
Standard operating procedures: power-on, water discharge, foam output, water recovery, and residual liquid drainage
3. Safe Operation Guidelines
Safety distance and vehicle stability during fire engine operation
Safe use of fire engine flashing lights in nighttime or low-visibility conditions
Emergency stop, manual override, and prevention of misoperation
4. Emergency and Fault Handling
Troubleshooting common problems (e.g., no water output, pressure loss, pump or electrical system failure)
Emergency recovery using backup power, secondary controls, or manual override for military fire engine applications
II. Practical Training
1. Driving Skills
Maneuvering of fire engine vehicles: reversing, turning, narrow road driving, emergency braking
Off-road drills for military fire engines or all-terrain fire trucks (e.g., mountainous, muddy, or flooded environments)
2. Pump and Spraying Operation
Practical operation of the fire engine water pump for suction and discharge
Long-distance water relay using fire engine hose, pump cascade connection, and dual-pump coordination
Use of foam systems and spray mode switching for different fire scenarios
3. Equipment Handling and Coordination
Rapid deployment of fire engine hoses, nozzle connection, and coupling to water sources or hydrants
Recovery and proper storage of hoses and fire engine equipment
Collaborative drills simulating real fireground teamwork
4. Special Vehicle Operation
Hands-on training for specialized vehicles such as aerial ladder trucks, elevated water towers, rescue vehicles, and fire engine tankers
High-altitude operation safety and emergency boom retraction
Operation of military fire engines in simulated combat or crisis scenarios
III. Maintenance and Inspection Training
1. Daily Inspection
Routine checks on fire engine equipment, lighting systems, fluid levels, electrical wiring, tires, and warning devices like fire engine flashing lights
Functional test of the fire engine water pump, engine, transmission, and PTO
2. Scheduled Maintenance
Replacement of oil, coolant, filters, and inspection of the fire engine hose system
Lubrication and testing of the fire engine water pump, monitor, and foam equipment
3. Usage Logs and Records
Tracking the operation of fire engine vehicles, equipment usage logs
Maintenance and servicing reports, incident documentation, and parts replacement records
