FIRE STREAMS
In clues, the following (_ words) indicates the number of words without spaces in the answer

Across

2 Once nozzle pressure has produced a stream with maximum reach, further
increases in nozzle pressure have little effect upon the stream except to what
(2 words)
6 There are how many major types of fire streams
7 This type of stream is not recommended for use on Class C fires
9 That point in which a fire stream begins to lose its forward velocity (3 words)
11 In order to reduce pressure loss due to this, Keep nozzles and valves fully open
when operating hoselines
14 A compact fire stream, with little shower or spray, produced from a fixed
orifice
16 This type of stream is used most often on fires in confined spaces
20 What with air along with velocity, gravity, and wind influences a stream of
water or extinguishing agent as it passes through space
21 The part of the total pressure that is lost while forcing water through a pipe,
fitting, fire hose, and adapters (2 words)
22 Any nozzle that one to three firefighters can safely handle and that flows less
that 350 gpm
23 The resulting surge of pressure when water flowed through a hoseline or pipe is
suddenly stopped (2 words)
24 One of the observable results of proper application of a fire stream into a room
is that this is reduced (2 words)

Down

1 This is the primary way water extinguishes fire

3 What nozzle allow the nozzle to deliver large quantities of water at constant
operating pressures or to reduce the flow to allow for mobility while
maintaining an efficient discharge pattern
4 When water fire stream is broken in small particles it absorbs heat and
converts into steam __ __ than it would in compact form (2 words)
5 At 212 degrees F., water expands approximately how many times its original
volume (2 words)
8 The point at which a fire stream begins to lose its forward velocity
10 Fire stream which is composed of very fine droplets of water
12 When water flows from the nozzle, the reaction is equally strong in which
direction
13 A straight stream is a pattern of which nozzle (2 words)
14 Operate nozzle controls, hydrants, valves, and hose clamps how to prevent
 water hammer
15 A stream of water or other extinguishing agent after it leaves a fire hose nozzle
until it reaches its desired target or the ground (2 words)
17 A fire stream must deliver a volume of water sufficient to do this more rapidly
than is generated (2 words)
18 A solid steam is discharged from which nozzle
19 One of the observable results of proper application of a fire stream into a room
is that this may be maintained
20 When solid stream nozzles are used on handlines, they should be operated at
what psi
