HOSE ROLLSHOSE ROLLS
Straight roll ◦ Lay the hose out straight and flat on a clean surface◦ Roll the male coupling over onto the hose to start the roll◦ Form a coil that is open enough to allow the fingers to be
inserted◦ Continue to roll the coupling over onto the hose, forming
an even roll◦ As the roll increases in size, keep its edge aligned on the
remaining hose to make a uniform roll◦ Lay the completed roll flat on the ground◦ Using a foot, tamp any protruding coils down into the roll
HOSE ROLLSHOSE ROLLS
Donut roll ◦Method 1
Lay the section of hose flat and in a straight line Start the roll from a point 5 or 6 feet off center towards
the male coupling Roll towards the female end Leave sufficient space at the center loop to insert the
hand for carrying Near the completion of the roll, the male coupling is
enclosed within the roll as the hose is rolled over it Check to make sure the male coupling is inside the roll
with the female coupling about 3 feet ahead of it
HOSE ROLLSHOSE ROLLS
◦Method 2 Grasp coupling and carry it to other end Check to make sure the looped section is laying
flat, straight, and without twists Face coupling ends and start rolling 2 ½ feet from
bend towards the male coupling Pull female side back to relieve tension As roll approaches the male coupling, lay the roll
flat on the ground and bring the female end around the male coupling to complete the roll
HOSE ROLLSHOSE ROLLS
Twin donut roll ◦Place the male and female couplings together◦Lay the hose flat, without twisting, to form two
parallel lines from the loop end to the couplings◦Fold the loop end over and upon the two lines
to start the coupling◦Continue to roll both lines simultaneously
towards the coupling ends, forming a twin roll with a decreased diameter
HOSE ROLLSHOSE ROLLS
Self-locking twin donut roll ◦ Place the male and female couplings together◦ Lay the hose flat, without twisting, to form parallel lines
from the loop end to the couplings◦ Move one side of the hose up and over 2 ½ to 3 feet to
the opposite side without turning◦ Adjust the size of this shoulder loop to the proper length
for carrying◦ Facing the coupling ends, bring the back side of the loop
forward toward the couplings, and place it on top of where the hose crosses forming a loop on each side without twist
HOSE ROLLSHOSE ROLLS
Start rolling towards the coupling ends, forming two rolls side by side
When the rolls are completed, allow the couplings to lie across the top of each roll, and adjust the loops, one short and one long, by pulling only one side of the loop through
Place the long loop through the short loop, just behind the couplings, and tighten snugly forming a shoulder sling
DIFFERENT TYPES OF COUPLING & DIFFERENT TYPES OF COUPLING & UNCOUPLING PROCEDURESUNCOUPLING PROCEDURES
Coupling hose◦Foot tilt method (one firefighter)
Stand facing the two couplings so that one foot is near the male end
Place the foot directly on the hose behind the male coupling and apply pressure to tilt it upward
Position feet apart for balance Grasp the female end by placing one hand behind the
coupling and the other hand on the coupling swivel Bring the two couplings together and turn the swivel
clockwise with the thumb to make the connection
Foot tilt method
DIFFERENT TYPES OF COUPLING & DIFFERENT TYPES OF COUPLING & UNCOUPLING PROCEDURESUNCOUPLING PROCEDURES
◦Two firefighter method Male coupling
◦While facing the assistant, grasp the male coupling with both hands
◦Bend the hose directly behind the coupling◦Hold the coupling and hose tightly against the upper
thigh or midsection, with the male threads outward◦Look in another direction while assistant aligns
couplings and tightens them
Two firefighter method
DIFFERENT TYPES OF COUPLING & DIFFERENT TYPES OF COUPLING & UNCOUPLING PROCEDURESUNCOUPLING PROCEDURES
◦Female coupling Grasp the female coupling with both hands Bring both couplings together Align them using the Higbee indicator or other
method(s) Turn the female coupling counterclockwise until a
click is heard Turn the female coupling clockwise until tightened
DIFFERENT TYPES OF COUPLING & DIFFERENT TYPES OF COUPLING & UNCOUPLING PROCEDURESUNCOUPLING PROCEDURES
◦Hose uncoupling Knee press method
◦Grasp the hose behind the female coupling◦Stand the male coupling on end◦Set feet well apart for balance◦Place one knee upon the hose and shank of the female
coupling◦Snap the swivel quickly in a counterclockwise direction
as body weight is applied to loosen the connection
Knee press method
DIFFERENT TYPES OF COUPLING & DIFFERENT TYPES OF COUPLING & UNCOUPLING PROCEDURESUNCOUPLING PROCEDURES
Two firefighter stiff arm method ◦Take a firm two-handed grip on your respective coupling
and press the coupling toward the other firefighter, thereby compressing the gasket in the coupling
◦Keep arms stiff, and use the weight of both bodies to turn each hose coupling counterclockwise, thus loosening the connection
HOSE CARRIESHOSE CARRIES
Hose carry: Shoulder loads (from flat or horseshoe) ◦ Attach nozzle to end of hose◦ Position carrier at tailboard facing in the direction of
travel◦ Place the initial fold of hose over the carrier’s shoulder so
that the nozzle can be carried chest high◦ Bring the hose from behind over the shoulder so the rear
fold ends at the back of the knee◦ Complete the above procedure for each carrier until the
desired length of hose is loaded◦ Uncouple the hose from the hose bed when desired
length is loaded◦ Hand the coupling to the last carrier
HOSE CARRIESHOSE CARRIES
Hose carry: shoulder loads (from flat or accordion) ◦ Facing the hose bed, grasp the nozzle and the number of
folds needed to make the desired length◦ Pull the folds about one-third of the way out of the bed
Twist the folds into an upright position Turn and pivot into the folds placing them on top of the
shoulder Make sure the hose is flat with the nozzle and/or
coupling in front of the body
HOSE CARRIESHOSE CARRIES
Hose carry/drag ◦Stands alongside the hoseline and picks up the
nozzle or coupling◦Places the hoseline over his/her shoulder with
the coupling (nozzle) in front, resting on his/her chest
◦Walks approximately 25 feet◦Pick up hose with other hand◦Holds the coupling in place while pulling with
his/her shoulder, arms and legs dragging hose to desired location
