[@jdee928]

Love this! I love how you go through it slowly showing each step and then in motion still explaining. 💯

I’m a 25 year volunteer firefighter/emt. Back when I went to what we called fire boot camp they let full timers teach the volunteers. It was 7 sundays(fire boot camp) all we worked on the first Sunday was “stretching line” . Since then they changed requirements to be certified volunteer. So stretching like always been a special place in my heart

Great video thanks

As a probie, this was everything

[@tewksburydriver8624]

This was just one way, not THE way. My department does not and would not do it this way, not saying this is wrong though. Our first due the nozzle man is stretching the line with help of the pump operator while the officer is sizing up the fire. One capable firefighter can shoulder and walk out 200' with the pump operator flaking and removing kinks.

Get video. The Pro tip for probies was key, hole the line to get the tip to the door.

Only thing I don’t agree with when the attack team. We are required to come off the trucks if they are on the pipe(nozzle) or back up man you come with your pack on sucking air. Then depending if we got enough guys on the truck or show up to the fire we got what I call the “breach team” 9 times out of 10 the door locked breach team responsible for breaching the front door. Those guys are also required to have on air pack sucking air coming off the truck. Depending type of structure first option is halligan and fire axe. We’ve used k-12 saws on doors. It really depends how difficult the door being. We’ve even used jaws spreader once on a door. It wasn’t budging with the halligan and the k12 we couldn’t get a good bite spot so I said I got an idea pull the spreaders I put on my pack . I said attack team get on the pipe and get ready cause once I get out of the way your going in. Wedged the spreaders in the jam opened it up it split that jam real nice

Great content, only adjustment I would make is instead of walking to front door with all the hose on shoulder, come around the apparatus and walk away from apparatus toward driver, flake out Minuteman Load as far away as possible and walk up with nozzle and first coupling.

This is a one man job, not 3. Officer should be doing a 360. The other FF is either forcing doors, floating to another station, or on annual leave.

Engine guy forcing doors ? Wtf are you ? A free lancer ? Learn your position Probie

Rarely do we ever have more than 3 man crew on an Engine. Truck Co. is either 3rd or 4th due depending location of call in the County. A lot of times you have to make due with what ya got and just work problem as best ya can until next Engine Co. arrives. 1 man can pull 200’ 2” minute man cross-lay while the Officer does a 360; then both of ya go in on the line. Things are a lot different in the more rural area’s! (Example: We don’t have a wet hydrant in out entire 1st. Due; all Dry Hydrant’s and Tankers.)
