You stretch the hose out before you charge it so you dont end up with a ball of cluster fuck you dumb ass, and why not pay it out towards the house. When you pull up with a pumper you pull past if possible to leave prime parking for the ariel should it be need, in this case probably not needed but good practise. You dont save anything by panicing and running around like a chicken with your head cut off, thats how guys get hurt and killed running.
@thecowboy09 to the cowboy09, in relation to your comment, i am an expert because i just happen to be a fire fighter myself. no fire-fighter walks towards a fire without a charged line or media.
looks like the diver had trouble Priming the water supply , it took ages to get the water on ! I can see the advantage of carrying an un-charged line of hose if you can see the fire, its in the open and its a long way from the pump, In this case i would have the line charged and water on pretty quick !
@MegaSammy999 You don't need to "prime" a pump that's running off the tank, it's gravity fed. You only need to prime when you are drafting water. And if you'd read the response from apmikel below, you'd see that the dumbass in the Volvo parked on the hose. If it were me, he would've gotten a Halligan through his windshield before he got to the hose. Those guys did nothing wrong.
the reason it took so long is because the idiot in the car decided to park on the hose after we laid it out, then it took a while for the pump operator to get the dumb ass to clue in to what they had done....... so shut your mouth if you don't know your facts.
They pull up and set the air brakes at 0:29secs in, at 1:49 when the video ends he still hasn't managed to figure out how to get them water, you do the math. Way to go, "Dave" ...and whoever was on the seat, with the irresponsible lack of judgement of actually letting him drive. Some people should be ashamed of themselves
The boys are standing around with the hoseline in their hands, yawning while it burns, masked up and waiting forever for the rookie to figure out how to get them water ...who the F**K was running the pump?!?!? What an embarassment to watch!
You have a garage fire. Do you really want to go inside the front door with fire below you.

@firefish101 you bowl or run out the hose away from the danger first, then move in towards the fire, never go towards a fire without media.
