With some clever editing on the last 2 shuttles.

😮

about 15kg just did this today...

In europe they use booster lines as their initial attack line and if needed the 45mm hose can be connected. The booster lines as initial attacks can be set up quicker than 2 mins and allows water to be on the fire quickly, and for most smaller fires it is all that is needed. The tidy up afterwards is much quicker.

The 19mm hose-reel tubing is always connected via the reel to the tank & pump.. Centrifugal fire pumps here, incorporate a peripheral impellor, which boosts pressure by 3-4 times. A main jet operating at 10 bar (150psi) would mean the hose-reel delivers at 33 bar ( 500psi). 99% of fires are dealt with using the high pressure hose-reel. A tank may last 20 minutes, rather than say, under minutes from a main jet. Flaked hose may also be carried as seen on n US apparatus, but it is seldom used. Typically 20 lengths of rolled hose, mainly 70mm with some 45mm to be used at the branch ( nozzle). Hope this helps.

She probably out ranks the guy timing her

Have u done it

How did it go?

Just hose reel. The branch is just the bit on the end

You’d call it a hose reel as the whole thing. A hose reel branch would just be the beach itself

my guy yh

its a terrible one. In real life you'd always have 2-3 FFs carrying one, and it certainly wouldnt be like that. This is just to gauge your physical ability in a fireground setting, not actual skill

Hmm and yet they do.

My thoughts exactly 🤣 like injured people arent usuall, the 80-90 kg dudes

Trust me , as n instructor arrogance like that will cause you to fail

It's for safety on the fire ground, as a firefighter myself I understand why this can be confusing, it's so we don't trip over a hose or other piece of equipment that we can't see, so in summary, it's for safety

Maybe in the US. In the UK we run where appropriate.

exactly

Replicates dragging someone

@@ducky169 yes, an 8 1/2 stone kid.My newfoundland dog weighed more than that.

This is a Vo2 assessment used across many UK FRS. Entrapment/rescue training is separate. 100% of female Firefighters I've come across are more than capable 👍

Their white helmet disagrees with you.

This test was scientifically tested before introduction I was involved in the testing, using real firefighters of varying ages and gender, I’d like to see some of you keyboard warriors completing whilst wearing full fire kit

@@Pphoxinus and mine disagrees with you.

Physical strength tests in the UK fire service recruitment process, precluded even the fittest of women. The grip strength test ( carried out on each hand individually) in particular , was therefore deemed sexist & it was abolished nationally. Not surprisingly, many women now pass the process. As a man I could still easily pass the grip test aged 56 just prior to retirement. Men & women also age quite differently in a physical sense. As a recruit, I weighed 82kg & some men were lighter but one of us weighed 99kg & yet we all had to individually pick each other up from the floor (drill M4) also carry down a 45' ladder. No one, but no one, ever dragged anyone anywhere. I believe there are more drag nowadays though.

She didn't look weak, she carried the hose, ect, and ran perfectly well. And at a real fire one would hardly actually do all that one after the other, unless only one firefighter was on the engine.

She is a boss clearly so she has made the grade for a long time.
