We use custom engines, hydrant man has a spanner under his seat ready to use. Hydrant man jumps out of truck and grabs hose, then runs to hydrant. Hydrant man wraps hose around hydrant and signals to driver, driver drives rig to fire the stops, driver jumps out if truck and runs to the rear of the rig, uncouples the hose from the hose bed and attaches to the rear, at the same time the hydrant man is connecting the hose to the hydrant, and the other crew members are pulling required hoses from the side while the captain establishes command.
These hose lays are not for actual firefighting, they are to instill the basics and to see if people can follow orders. These guys are also explorers so its not how it would be in the recruit tower.
These are EXPLORERS not fire fighters, they are practicing what they have learned, chill out they aren't actual fire fighters yet. That's what they are TRAINING for calm down people.
The reason u use a LDH hose clamp is u can go ahead and turn on the hydrant when ur ready and you do not have to wait on the pump operator to hook it up , he has a certain amount of water on the truck he can use be4 he has to worry about hooking up, when he does all he has to do is undo the clamp and its there. That frees up the hydrant man quicker.
Are stacked tips still in common use on attack lines? I've never seen anything aside from adjustable nozzles at the local FD-with and without pistol grips. Thanks for the info :)
why is the pump operator looking away from the nozzle man, and why is the captain doing the nozzle man's job? Im a junior and I see so many things wrong with this!!
Well that's how the old guy that taught the old guy that taught me did it". Some people just do stuff because that's the way they were taught and they never question why. Technology changes but sometimes people fail to change with the technology. So thus the clamp. Just like wearing helmets in the truck, it's something you just don't do anymore.
Catching a hydrant and standing in front of the steamer caps is not smart... if by any chance the barrel is charged and you pop the cap... that cap is gonna slap in the leg... always stand behind the hydrant away from the caps.... my other issue are these guys are working with no gloves..
well I say they could have bin better and there trucks are different. the trucks we have the pump panel and all that is on the sides but the main pump operator is in the middle of the truck you have two stand up there instead of standing on the side.
stop wasting time with the dam hose clamp and hock up your freking 5 inch, and catch up with old technology and get some dam Storz connections on that five inch, and what's with the yelling

I dont always catch hydrants, but when I do, theres magically a hydrant wrench there for me to use.
They're funny with their screaming and running. Just like minions from 'Despicable me'. :D
yelling on the fireground just adds to the confusion
They aren’t firefighters, they are kids doing a team building activity
Im a 14 year old junior (same as explorer) and i think you guys did a great job doing engine ops next class

iamtingley actually it’s pretty similar to what’s in the academy

I love the "I hear you!" at 3:54. lol
NEVER RUN IN FIRE GEAR
Rather dont run over top of a ldh or any hose. running is fine.

A good engineer can have his supply line hooked and ready for water before most can get a hose clamp deployed
Train like you fight. And this is not how anyone fights fire.
Post 11 from 2004 would make this battalion look slow. Keep Pushing.
Missed one vale on safety check.Failed to wrap hydrant with LDH.
Can someone explain why they used a hose clamp on the hydrant line? why turn the hydrant on before the line is connected to the truck.
Post 11 Battallion 11 would own this class. 2004, Cert. Exp. 39, class 39. BEST ACADEMY ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The nozzleman a little dehydrated? Pull the handline and run! NO WALKING ON THE GRINDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Thanks for the info :)
Smooth bore nozzles are making a come back
*cough* Radio *cough*
By the way fire fighters don't actually do full hose lays when they are fighting fires
why is the pump operator looking away from the nozzle man, and why is the captain doing the nozzle man's job? Im a junior and I see so many things wrong with this!!

Keep up the good work guys!
Hose clamp for the win!
Running on the fire ground is no-no haha
this is firefighting, not the military
Well done!
This is comical as shit lol

The nozzle man was a little off though
alot of this is, i'm sure, just for training, and not uch different than if you were in basic for the military
stop wasting time with the dam hose clamp and hock up your freking 5 inch, and catch up with old technology and get some dam Storz connections on that five inch, and what's with the yelling
Omfg.. not how it's done we use radios we don't yell .. it ain't boot camp brisk walk never run in gear..
since when in hell do u run in ur bunker gear

Mrx122ful parade rest
They are trying to teach kids to follow orders and practice teambuilding
Estaba todo bien hasta que vi la mano en el hombro. :)
Im going to throw up now.
Now put it all away and do it again.. Also look into doing signal only drills, no speaking
Que lentos mucho rato y esas lineas sin agua
Doesn,t annyone knowes these days that u have portofoons to communicate with each other? I guess that firefighting in europe goes faster than the US!
Unrealistic ,not to mention as slow A F
