In this episode, “Training To Perform Under Pressure” instructor, Chris Theobald provides insight for how to properly pack a hose part 2.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:

  These hose packs give you versatility and the ability to come in from a distance with your own hose and you don’t have to worry about stretching a long line off your G I’ll play that right. You come out, look it into the fire ground pumper. Stretch your line to go. They’re good for extending. You extend the lines that you, you pull up short, you need more.

So we build these things up. Usually a hundred foot is good. Cool of thumb for having it on your shoulder. They came up with this ver back so that these yellow four inch keys and new straps. So I really like them. I had not seen these before. Uh, my department, we just bundle ours up just like those and we put straps on ’em and they work pretty good.

But what I found over the last couple days with these hose packs that really is selling it to me is that these are stay together so well. That all the people here are taking ’em and rolling ’em around, like throwing ’em over window sills and over ledges and dropping ’em, and they stay together. It doesn’t come apart at all.

I think it’s really great, uh, because you could run around with this thing, drop it. If you don’t stretch it, you probably don’t even have to repack it. When you put it on the truck, it probably puts good enough it could back on your rig. The nice thing about this is it looks different than the other bundles, but I’m gonna show you here right now that it is.

Pretty much exactly the same as the other bundle. It’s a side by side stack that when I open this up, it’s gonna look just like yellow. Set it down where I want, right here, fold my craft. Pull, pull bolt. I’m gonna open this thing up like a book, right? Like a book down, down. You want to take this thing out of the middle?

You can, otherwise you don’t have to. But you can see now that what do I have in front of me? Same exact bundle, right? Very versatile bundles. If I wanna do a coil with it, same thing. Nozzle, knee, coil, coil, coil. So if you load these up, the way that these that we’re gonna show you here in a minute, there’s should be one short bite and you gotta reach in and grab.

But this might make it easier for you guys that we’re having trouble with the other one where you couldn’t fling it far enough, because since the shorter or easier fling,

Very versatile bundle.
