Hose Handling Drills
Here is a short video that you can use to supplement your training for hose handling. This seems like really simple stuff, but, it is performed wrong frequently.
Take the time to go over these techniques with your crew. If you cannot handle the hose, you will have difficulties getting the “wet stuff on the hot stuff” because you are fighting the hose line.
Take care and train hard.

Regardless of the content, this would never be used for training by anyone worth their salt as an instructor. If you are going to teach, "Do as I say". No chinstrap, No gloves, and No turnout coat. Train like you play!

Yikes. while you are absolutely correct, teaching young impressionalble kids different techniques that make the job easier is serious business. Especially if "the book" doesn't cover it, or shows it differently. Doing everything by the book!!. I can't disagree on that. But I would have expected a comment like that from a jr. or a one year probie fresh out of school. I guess it just proves a theory that I was wondering about for quite some time. There really is no such thing as "common sense and discretion" allowed in our business any more. I just can't see the day when every single firefighter follows every single "rule" in the book to a fault. It must be fun being so critical of everything. Ripping everything apart. I have been known to do it, but I am usually pretty selective at nit-picking. I try and pick out the stuff that is immediately dangerous, and life threatening, before I would comment, not studying every little thing, and picking up on a loose chin strap! The "BOOK" shows you the RULES. Experience and common sense and discretion shows you the exceptions.

As a fire instructor it is important to impress on the students the importance of doing things the right way. If they learn it the right way, they will do it the right way. Just like the oldtimers that insist on not wearing hoods so that they can feel the heat. If we don't force the issue of wearing your gear properly, then they won't wear it properly when they need to. If they get used to going without gloves, or wearing work gloves instead of fire gloves, they will not know how to work in the correct gloves. If they never wear the chinstrap (notice the students have them on), then they will not think to wear them when they go into a fire. This is not a do as I say and not as I do business. If common sense was common, everyone would have it and we would be out of business.
