To mitigate risks, firefighters are trained to use established formulas, charts, and standards for fire hydraulics. They must have a solid understanding of these principles and apply them accurately to ensure the right amount of water is delivered to extinguish the fire. Precise calculations and well-maintained equipment are essential for effective fire suppression and firefighter safety. While experienced firefighters may develop a sense for estimating in some situations, this should complement, not replace, proper hydraulics calculations
