Shoulder Carry Hose Load

This is a video of Oshtemo Fire Department experimenting with the shoulder carry hose load. It was to show the department one of many hose loading options. It contains a brief description and video. The video isn't a perfect stretch but it gets the idea across. We chose not to go with this load and implemented the Philly Hose (Triple Load) to keep all pre-connects consistent.

Thanks for the info about the Fire Hose Roller. We opted to go with the triple load (aka triple flat, philly hose, etc) which allows us to charge the handline once the hose is 50' from the engine.

looks like the min man hose load that we used to use now trying to get them to go to the triple hose load

This brings back memories, I first demonstrated this Minute Man Method to my astonished fire company in 1981. I remember walking out the front of the apparatus bay, around the fire station, in the back door, up 2 flights of stairs and set up in the stairway just inside from a hallway that was the simulated location of the fire. All by myself.

Copy and paste in the search bar above: Fire Hose Roller - Immediate Deployment! Fast, efficeint, and effective! Your system requires the fire fighter to deploy the whole length before a drop of water can flow... and you never untangle the pile at your engine... and you never demonstrated it charged... pretty simple... and old out dated similar version to what has been around for years
