Thats a Great Tip. I thought it was funny when you charged the line and the Apparatus Bay Floor Started To Flood.

Glad you found it useful. Wait until you train with it, it is extremely easy to load and deploy, thanks for the feed back!

@ChrisE631, my dept changed to this load for all of our initial attack hose , we have had no problems with this load if loaded correctly, i am with a rural fire dept with minimum manpower at times and this is a great load, we use both smooth bore and fog nozzles and have had no problems with it.

Good job on the video! Dirt simple!

Great video but can someone tell me why did you add the 10ft of 3 inch hose? Why not hook the gated Y directly to the standpipe. I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks, be safe

its a nice load as far as initial deployment is concerned, however unless its used mainly as a primary attack line that is not going to be shut down at all on scene, it has a tendancy to corkscrew along the length of the line which in itself doesn't cause a problem but as soon as the water is shut down to that line for any reason and the line is moves it binds up like nothing i can desribe. after that happens, it will be extremely difficult in re-establishing a water supply to that hose again.

Good load. We call it the Dunkin Donut. Should probably go with light-weight 2 1/2 though for high rise and standpipe ops. Did you check that gated wye for a gasket?! :) Must have been bay day.

@ChrisE631 The smoothbore nozzle is your problem. It takes away the pressure. It was stated in the video not to deploy an uncharged hose line. The reason is the coiling of the hose will naturally kink by untwisting. This kinking happens when there is not enough pressure on the hose.

We've been using this hose load on our dept for over a year now and it work perfect it just looks like IRS kinked but it's out in a split second

@ntstick06 We have been using this load too, with great results. Contrary to what ChrisE631 says, there is no need to leave a firefighter with the load. It will play out just fine. Keep safe!
