The affects due to extinguishing water jet that is directed into the eye cannot be underestimated and causes serious injuries. The problem: Eye injury from a jet of fire water is usually a very serious injury. Serious injury, including blindness can be the result - also at risk are the ears. Accidents reported to the accident insurers like the example shown occur again and again. The accident descriptions show misunderstandings among the operations of the fire-fighting crews due to lack of agreement and coordination among themselves, lack of knowledge of local conditions or difficult external conditions such as poor visibility through smoke and darkness. In addition, fire-brigade operations can lead to uncontrolled water jets, such as pressure fluctuations in the water supply, problems with prolonged holding of steel pipes (fatigue), unsafe standing position, error when grasping or transferring the steel pipe to other persons or simple misfortunes.
