## What is Fire Pump Operator?

New for 2026!
Fire Pump Operator puts the fireground hydraulics you rely on into one fast app built for driver/operators, engineers, and firefighters working toward a pump certification.

Stop second-guessing the math on the panel. Enter your numbers, get the answer, and understand the "why" behind it with plain-language reference built alongside every tool.

CALCULATORS FOR THE PANEL
- NFA and Iowa rate-of-flow fire flow estimates
- Head pressure and elevation gain/loss
- Friction loss and engine pressure
- Nozzle reaction
- Horizontal and vertical reach (solid stream)
- Master stream and large-flow support
- Standpipe and high-rise operations
- Relay pumping
- Tender/tanker shuttle operations
- Foam and CAFS

LEARN THE "WHY," NOT JUST THE ANSWER
Every calculator is paired with a clear explanation of the concept behind it: engine pressure (EP), nozzle pressure (NP), friction loss (FL), appliance loss, and the coefficient formula. Ideal for studying before a promotional exam or refreshing between calls.

SHARPEN YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Work through quiz drills that test the formulas and concepts a pump operator is expected to know cold, and review your history to see where to focus next.

APPARATUS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Browse apparatus profiles and specs so pump ratings and equipment details are one tap away on shift.

BUILT FOR THE FIREHOUSE
- Save unlimited favorites for the tools you reach for most
- Optional daily knowledge notifications to keep concepts fresh
- Clean, high-contrast interface designed to be read fast on the apparatus

FIRE PUMP OPERATOR PRO
Pro unlocks every calculator, full quiz drills, complete apparatus profiles, unlimited favorites, and daily knowledge notifications. Start with a free trial, then continue monthly or save with an annual plan. Trial length and pricing are shown in the app before you subscribe.

Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

### 2/5 — Not what I was looking for

*2015-11-23*

I wanted an app to help me study for pump calculations. This is just a friction loss calculator for $5.00.

## Frequently asked questions about Fire Pump Operator

### What is the main function of Fire Pump Operator?

Fire Pump Operator's primary function is to help users calculate the total Engine Pressure (EP) needed for fire pump operations. It incorporates inputs for friction losses, appliances, and elevations into the calculation.

### Can I save my calculations in Fire Pump Operator?

Yes, you can save entries for later retrieval and modification within the Fire Pump Operator app. This allows you to keep track of previous calculations or make adjustments as needed.

### Does Fire Pump Operator allow customization of coefficients?

Yes, the app allows you to modify the default IFSTA coefficients to your department's specific coefficients. This ensures greater accuracy and relevance for your operational needs.

### What other calculators are included in Fire Pump Operator?

In addition to the main engine pressure calculation, Fire Pump Operator includes other useful calculators such as Head Pressure and the NFA Formula.

### What devices is Fire Pump Operator compatible with?

Fire Pump Operator is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices. It also supports Apple Watch for convenient access.

### How often is Fire Pump Operator updated?

The latest version of Fire Pump Operator is 1.1, which was released on October 11, 2015. There have been no updates since its initial release.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2026.07.28 — 2026-07-28

Stability Improvements

### 2026.07.27 — 2026-07-27

QUIZ
• Drills now include appliance loss and elevation change, so questions exercise the full pump discharge pressure formula instead of a predictable subset.
• A correctly rounded answer is no longer marked wrong. Answers that land exactly halfway now grade the way you would work them on the panel.
• The Next Question button is no longer cut off after you submit. The app brings it into view for you.
• Each new question opens at the top instead of part way down the page.

CALCULATORS
• Master Stream no longer shows an impossible negative pressure when the elevation drop is greater than the pressure the line needs. It now tells you to throttle at the gate instead.
• A long list of validation and rounding corrections across friction loss, standpipe, relay pumping, tender shuttle, foam and nozzle reaction.

GETTING AROUND
• Switching tabs no longer discards unsaved edits without asking.
• Screen headers stay put when you pull down, and shrink to a compact bar as you scroll instead of sliding away.

ALSO
• Cleaner launch screen.
• Reliability fixes to saved favorites, saved apparatus and stored settings.

### 2026.07.23 — 2026-07-25

A brand-new Fire Pump Operator, rebuilt from the ground up for driver/operators and anyone chasing a pump cert.

• Fireground calculators: friction loss & engine pressure, NFA and Iowa fire flow, head pressure, nozzle reaction, stream reach, master stream, standpipe & high-rise, relay pumping, tender shuttle, and foam/CAFS
• Plain-language guides explaining the "why" behind every formula
• Quiz drills with step-by-step worked math and saved score history
• Save your apparatus, preconnect lines with one-tap pump discharge pressure, and favorite pump setups
• Optional daily knowledge notifications

### 1.1 — 2015-10-11

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
