How to Do Hydraulic Ventilation with a Smooth Bore Nozzle | Firefighter Sean Gray | Fully Involved

Описание: Think you can’t hydraulically ventilate with a smooth bore? That myth has cost crews time and smoke removal on the fireground. In this Fully Involved bonus, Sean Gray of Cobb County (GA) breaks down how to efficiently clear a structure using the nozzle already in your hands.

🧠 Use this video to train on:
– Hydraulic ventilation after knockdown
– Smooth bore nozzle control and modification
– Air entrainment principles on the fireground
– Efficient post-extinguishment smoke removal

Fireground problems this video tackles:
🚫 Believing smooth bores can’t perform hydraulic ventilation
🚫 Poor smoke removal after interior attack
🚫 Standing too close to the window and killing air movement
🚫 Over-opening the bale
🚫 Slow reset times after knockdown

You’ll learn how to:
✅ Remove the smooth bore tip for effective hydraulic ventilation
✅ Give yourself about 6 feet of space for proper air entrainment
✅ Use a half bale to maximize smoke exhaust
✅ Move the nozzle to increase air movement
✅ Quickly clear heat and smoke after extinguishment
