WARNING

Water is a conductor of electricity. Application of water on high voltage equipment can cause 
injury or death by electrocution. The amount of current that may be carried back to the nozzle 
will depend on the following factors:
• Voltage of the line or equipment
• Distance from the nozzle to the line or equipment
• Size of the stream
• Whether the stream is solid or broken
•  Purity  of  the  water.  Refer  to  The  Fire  Fighter  and  Electrical  Equipment,  The  University  of 
Michigan Extension Service, Fourth Printing 1983. Page 47

CAUTION

Fire streams are capable of injury and damage. Do not direct water stream to cause injury or 
damage to persons or property.
