According to Webster's Dictionary, hydraulics is that branch of science or engineering which treats of water or other fluids, in motion and the works and machinery of conducting or raising it. Fire Service Hydraulics fits this definition except that it deals only with water and its various applications, including foam, and certain specialized machinery and equipment that includes hose and nozzles.

Fire Service Hydraulics also includes the action of the men who manipulate this water and machinery. It is therefore a unique branch of hydraulics that has been tailored to a unique service and to the men who provide it - fire fighting and fire fighters.
