PumpLine vs FirePumpSim

PumpLine helps fire pump operators determine the pump discharge pressure (PDP) needed to deliver a target fire stream. Using established fire-service hydraulic calculations, PumpLine brings nozzle pressure, hose friction loss, elevation, appliance loss, water source, and line layout into one clear operational setpoint. Pump Setups are at the center of the app. Build a Pump Setup for a specific department, apparatus, discharge, hose layout, and nozzle. Save it for training, then recall it in Operator for an at-a-glance pressure reference. Key capabilities include: • Clear PDP, intake pressure, boost, and operating conditions • Quick adjustments for flow, hose, nozzle, elevation, and water source • Pump Setups organized by department and apparatus • Reference, Field Tested, and Needs Retest Setup status • Nozzle pressure, reaction force, exit velocity, and estimated reach • Single-line, split, siamese, and standpipe-style configurations • Compatible QR Setup exchange between PumpLine on iPhone and Android • Shareable Setup Images and Pump Setup library backup • Offline operation on iPhone and iPad PumpLine is an educational and operational reference. Confirm calculated values using department SOPs, apparatus gauges, equipment data, manufacturer guidance, and qualified operator judgment.

FirePumpSim is a fireground pump training app built for firefighters, driver/operators, instructors, and students who want realistic pump-pressure practice without needing a full training evolution. Work through visual fireground scenarios, calculate pump pressure, practice friction loss, review explanations, and build confidence with real-world fire service hydraulics. FirePumpSim helps users practice common pump operator problems such as: • Single attack lines • Standpipe and FDC operations • Wye layouts • Master streams • Deck gun flow problems • Elevation changes • Appliance loss • Hose length and diameter changes • Nozzle reaction • Wildland and structure protection scenarios Each scenario presents a fireground setup and challenges you to determine the correct answer. After submitting your response, FirePumpSim provides teaching feedback so you can understand the math, not just memorize an answer. FirePumpSim also includes training tools designed for classroom, station, and company-level practice: • Practice Scenarios • Daily Challenge • Printable Scenarios • Scenario Library • Formula reference • Pump card reference Whether you are preparing for driver/operator testing, teaching pump hydraulics, or trying to stay sharp as an engineer, FirePumpSim gives you a simple way to practice realistic fireground calculations anytime. Built by a firefighter/paramedic for real fire service training.
