As mcuh as it may seem we are 'viewing this stupidity,' I too can't hold back the fact this video was created because of the stubborn anal tendencies firefighters (like myself) have expressed everytime anyone threatens CHANGE to a procedure in place for any length of time! This video IS necessary because of the 'stupid' arguments presented by the IGNORANT. Good JOB!

This was a test of the worst case scenario. Give the guys a break, at least they are being proactive and trying new concepts and are willing to test them.

I'm a fire service training instructor in England and I think it's great to use equipment in every variation possible. If you practice using your gear the right way you'll pick up good habits, but by demonstrating how things can go wrong if you don't use it the right way leaves an important impression in a firefighters mind which keeps them doing the job right even when they are tired because they know that its better for them in the long run and saves work sorting out problems later. Well done

Great video and way to experiment and try new things. It would be good to test this with 100' of 2 1/2 with a smoothbore @ 65psi and see what happens.

whats wrong with 1 3/4 ? you can get almost 200 gpm with a smooth bore nozzle. this hose bundle is dropped correctly. a dept near me uses this but they lean it up against the wall so the loops are standing up not laying flat on the floor.

Sensational video. Thanks for your time and effort in carrying out the drills. Its really good to see others who believe in this job and don't just want to "pose" in the uniform!

i have to agree with the people on here, shy would you drop a hose bundle on a landing and not deploy it correctly? Makes no sense to me. Plus, operating charged handlines, deploying them without turnout gear? Doesnt make much sense.

I got kinda lost trying to figure out what you were trying to tell people. Can't really respect it without guys using safety gear, or was that another intentional mistake.

There is literally no situation where these basic laws of physics you first learned when your daddy told you to fill you doggy's water bowl from a gardent hose at age five (5). We are not in the business of storing (folding) our hose on our rigs, but rather deploying (kink free) our hose to deliver as much water as fast and efficient as possible! 3w's.hftfiredotcom
