ive never seen a kink not affect the water flow. we were doing training on a 2 1/2 doing the single firefighter task and every time i leaned back wrong on the hose to pull the nozzle up the hose kinked and the water pressure backed up

[@yayoisaac9525]

nice, gonna try it out

[@joshua12084]

pretty cool shit. I wonder if more departments will use this technique

[@hammerlane3871]

the ET we train on, ET 241, uses flat lays on the 1 3/4" and the 2 1/2" lines. and most likely the newest trucks ET 141 and ET 541 along with ET 341 E 441 & ET 441 also have the flat lays. im not sure though I havent trained on those trucks yet

[@infoatticchat]

Good Point. I guess because they are using 3" to supply the gnassner pack from a 400' flat load.

i love the bundles...i'm not a firefighter yet cuz i'm to young still but i have deployed hoses and i suggested the bundle...i don't know if they use it though

[@cvfdeng306]

would you be able to do this load with it sitting in the crosslay bed sitting on top and attached to either a 100 or 200 foot flat load? would that be efficient or even practical? just wondering out of curiosity because in my department it seems hard enough to get our officers to embrace something different that's been done for years by surrounding departments, let alone something that's relatively new.

[@Planespotterdude]

I wish we had that when i was a volunteer

[@trancasist]

no estaria nada mal un poco de informacion en español saludos buen video

[@gabecobb4023]

i Like that video

[@jlm993]

at 9:50: the supply line for betwween the standpipe and the wye is a flat load. Why not "bundle" gnassner the supply line also.

[@gabecobb4023]

i like that i

I'm a volunteer fire fighter and my last name is Melton just like the guy in the video lol

That contraption to connect two hoses into one. We call that a dividing breaching is now obsolete here in uk....Why? because is dangerous..Say your sending high pressure volume down the larger supply hose then dividing it into two usable pressure smaller hoses with a man on each....If for any reason one man shuts down or hose traps...then all hell happens,,,now you have one man on a smaller hose getting the full power of the larger hose also amplified by the smaller hose now getting the higher pressure.This will send him flying even Injure him..and a line out of control...We tried it at our station for trainees...All this hose deployment you use is so slow...hoses het tangled. We roll our hoses and have snap push joints...none of this screw type. Why are you still using the old canvas hoses...geeeees we have not seen them sinse the eary 1960s

[@chrisj9008]

allan x we operate at much lower pressures and higher volumes here in the US. Often times we are only running 50psi nozzle dicharhe pressures. We often try to balance the hose lengths which further helps. We also will often run automatic nozzles to deal with ranging pressures.

[@chrisj9008]

allan x also, those are not actually canvas hoses. Just search any of the main hose builders (key hose combat ready, Mercedes hose). You done see as much of the snap tite/storz connectors as you use because most of our lines are preconnected, and the snap fittings end up being much wider which complicates packing and deployment. Both systems have merit. We use the snap fittings at time in the wildland world often. Also out construction is quite different. I am very familiar with Rosenbauers high pressure systems and have used them extensively. Much of construction favors the lower pressure higher flow systems.
