Nozzle Overview: Weapon Selection with Curt Isakson - Brass Tacks & Hard Facts Episode #1

In 2000 at his FDIC keynote address, the late Andrew Fredericks stated “Even in the high-tech battlefield of today, it is the soldier with the rifle who still makes the difference in wartime. So until we make greater strides in the fire prevention and fixed suppression arenas, the firefighter and his nozzle will continue to be the difference between life and death for literally thousands of Americans threatened by fire every year."

In this video Curt Isakson takes you through proper weapons selection for the modern fire environment in a comprehensive overview of nozzles. He reviews capabilities and limitations of each type of nozzle and how they function.
