modified 200' triple lay hose load

We experimented with hose loads and deployment today. My department currently runs the triple lay on all our crosslays, which are 200 ft.While training today, and considering our short staff problem, We flat layed 100' with a hand loop at 50 and tripled the last 100' on the other side of the tray.By grabbing the triple lay in normal fashion in one hand and the loop of the flat load in the other, all hose cleared the bed, and when deployed, the nozzle person has 33' of usable hose at the attack…See More

Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I wanted to become part of something that was done not for myself but to help someone else, because we all know that everything we do affects someone else's life or the way their life continues.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
knowing that in some way I'm helping a fellow citizen
Top Issues Facing Responders:
As far as vol. departments I think we need to humble ourselves and start working better with our mutual aid departments. Recently, we must be aware that social media is everywhere, driving us more into public perception--good and bad.

When I started as a junior at the ripe ol' age of 14, I thought that would be what I wanted from being in the fire service, all the glory. As I grew older I realized that it wasn't about me at all, I feel now that we are just…
