A fire suppression system having a plumbing assembly, an engine, a hose, an air-bleed valve, and a controller is provided. The controller includes a one-touch activation control. The controller is also configured to automatically activate the air-bleed valve to remove air within the hose to prevent user injury and damage to the fire suppression system. A fire suppression system that automatically configures the fire suppression system to output a predetermined fire suppression fluid composition upon actuation of a one-touch activation control is also provided. In addition, an integrated control system is provided to automatically configure a fire truck's interlock and shift pump operation.

We claim: 1. A fire suppression system comprising:a plumbing assembly that includes:a water tank,a pump having an input and an output in fluid communication with the water tank,a master intake valve in fluid communication with the input of the pump, anda one-way check valve in fluid communication with the water tank, the pump, andthe master intake valve and being located between the water tank and both the pump and the master intake valve;an engine for driving the pump;a hose that includes:a second end, anda first end for connecting to a water supply;an air-bleed valve in fluid communication with the hose and the master intake valve and positioned between the second end of the hose and the master intake valve, the air-bleed valve including a level sensor for detecting the presence of air within the hose; anda controller operatively connected to the air-bleed valve, the engine, and the pump, the controller including a one-touch activation control to activate the controller,wherein the controller is configured to activate the air-bleed valve to remove air from the hose and to prevent increases in pump pressure by the pump by preventing the engine from increasing engine speed when the controller receives a signal from the air-bleed valve indicating the presence of air within the hose.
