its a terrible one. In real life you'd always have 2-3 FFs carrying one, and it certainly wouldnt be like that. This is just to gauge your physical ability in a fireground setting, not actual skill

Hello and thanks for the video. May I ask, why do British fire brigades keep their hose rolled up? I was a fireman for 21 years in Pennsylvania (USA) and we have hose preconnected to our engines. We can get the first hose line in operation and flowing water in less than 2 minutes. I have seen a number of videos of Europe fire services and it seems like most of Europe does this
@Stumack14273 ай бұрын
In europe they use booster lines as their initial attack line and if needed the 45mm hose can be connected. The booster lines as initial attacks can be set up quicker than 2 mins and allows water to be on the fire quickly, and for most smaller fires it is all that is needed. The tidy up afterwards is much quicker.

The 19mm hose-reel tubing is always connected via the reel to the tank & pump.. Centrifugal fire pumps here, incorporate a peripheral impellor, which boosts pressure by 3-4 times. A main jet operating at 10 bar (150psi) would mean the hose-reel delivers at 33 bar ( 500psi). 99% of fires are dealt with using the high pressure hose-reel. A tank may last 20 minutes, rather than say, under minutes from a main jet. Flaked hose may also be carried as seen on n US apparatus, but it is seldom used. Typically 20 lengths of rolled hose, mainly 70mm with some 45mm to be used at the branch ( nozzle). Hope this helps.

It's for safety on the fire ground, as a firefighter myself I understand why this can be confusing, it's so we don't trip over a hose or other piece of equipment that we can't see, so in summary, it's for safety

She would never have passed my physical fitness test, I took to get hired. We used real weight, and full size dummies. The problem isn’t here. Sometime in the future, she may need to rescue a fellow firefighter in full gear, under fire conditions. Sorry to say, 98% of women are not strong enough for the demands of the job.

Physical strength tests in the UK fire service recruitment process, precluded even the fittest of women. The grip strength test ( carried out on each hand individually) in particular , was therefore deemed sexist & it was abolished nationally. Not surprisingly, many women now pass the process. As a man I could still easily pass the grip test aged 56 just prior to retirement. Men & women also age quite differently in a physical sense. As a recruit, I weighed 82kg & some men were lighter but one of us weighed 99kg & yet we all had to individually pick each other up from the floor (drill M4) also carry down a 45' ladder. No one, but no one, ever dragged anyone anywhere. I believe there are more drag nowadays though.
