Gilbert McGillicutty I can fold his with a good puller in under three hours

Gilbert McGillicutty we used a HOSE MULE to load it.

1_foxtrot_01 and shirley replies " yes it will"

the pumps on those trucks will push water alot farther than that..

1_foxtrot_01 you can get about 2 miles on only 300 psi. out of the pump

TAOFLEDERMAUS hi. I love that you use your huge channel for your personal amusement and entertainment needs and comment with it too. Most big KZfaqrs have a relatively unknowk account for surfing

drove through the other day, they're still packing it up.....

@@hammerlane3871 lol im dead

that sounds like a problem, may I recommend a doctor lol

Just pull the slack

bryce hamilton lmao!!

*Throws Radio Out the Window*

Nathan Zittle after taking haligan and sawzall to it. "Chief it just fell..damn cheap radios

MsFiregal8 It's those new damn Motorola's that central gave us

Ouh damn, that’ll be sad

Rincon Fire purchased a tool called a Hose Mule that mounts to the truck and picks the hose up for you. Check it out on youtube

Any link for the video u mention

Aaron Shoemaker aren't they packing it by hand at the end??

Aaron Shoemaker holy s can u imagine

I think the "Hose Mule" is just a big pulley that the hose runs over then the guy in the back has to spead it all out so it doesn't get tangled.

+chris twohill just grab the end and haul ass the other way

lol

chris twohill I hurt myself laughing at what you said.

chris twohill lol. Awesome.

chris twohill Still laughing 3 years later 🔥👩

Thankfully we've been able to pack house wet for the last 10 years

@@DominiDiscord still can't pack it frozen though

@@monkeyoperator1360 fair point.

i i feel feel bad bad too too..

Jcool2018 Jim Briggs This is a drill for ISO to 1. prove that the lay works without using relay pumping, and 2. To lower the rating for the homeowner outside the distance of a certified water source. The department isn’t stating this should be standard, but it’s a new way of operating and it works for this particular district. The thought is with budgets in mind is a used engine that carries 6k ft of hose is far cheaper than buying several tenders, equipment and 24 hour coverage to man them. This operation is only 3 personnel when setting up and 2 once complete leaving more personnel for suppression.

i know right

All I could think about was the poor bastard they were gonna make repack that bed.

vince creeed this is why I go through the comments so I know I’m not the only one lol

vince creeed Because you could not look away.

You searched for big hose and ended up here.

Hey Great job and We Thank You for your service and Saving Lives......BE SAFE.....!!!!

By my calculations, that is about right but it sure seems longer.

Jenny Chapman 6k

just drag it into place to fill the gap

i was thinking that myself. seems like they were laying that way too fast. faster than i would have anyway.

No, the department had a letter from American Hose Co. stating that it was safe and approved by the manufacturer to be laid at no faster that 35mph.

Zack Borst

I calculated the speed at about 30mph.

Benjamin Brooks how? by counting hay bales?

Assuming a flow of 500 GPM the friction loss would be 120 psi.

120 psi a 500gpm en 6000ft??

Biggie the hose mule was purchased after the first two test runs. It did suck loading 6k manually

If you watch until the end of the video it shows how the department picks the hose up. They use a tool called the Hose Mule

is the hose mule 7 guys and a truck?

The maximum they could flow would be roughly 550 GPM. 550 GPM would create a friction loss of 150 psi over the 6000 ft lay!

Disconnect each section, wring it out with rollers, then back the truck up and lay it back in the bed a section at a time. You're right, you don't need a gym when you're doing it all the "old school" way. With our Dept. it took removing several of the younger members before they realized that it's an all hands on deck thing. So many times the younger guys wanted to stand around afterwards and brag about being the greatest firefighter ever. Even had a couple get mad and buck back at the officers telling them that it wasn't what they signed on to do and it was the officers' job. That was a fun day to be at the station! The joys of being a volunteer! Lol

Billy just think of it as an underground water main, We as firefighters are so engrained that their is no new way to do things. The probability of people saying you need a engine in line to boost pressure have probably never practiced or even tried it. This practice does work in the geographical area for this department. Should it be standardized, no but it does work and should be considered for departments as a new and alternative and cheaper way to lower ISO.

5" hose has very little friction loss for fire flow rates. Even compared to 4" hose...the LDH 5" is far, far superior. I've also recently seen 10" LDH at FDIC 2016. Now that's something to see. The truck was specially designed to winch it back on.

NeilLB7 very little friction loss? Wow,I'd have thought it would be a ton,what is this LDH hose? I've been retired from fire fighting for more than 20 years,hell I've been disabled for 25 this year,,,,got I just realized I am old,and 10" ? Jesus....we had just gotten 4" for out telesquirt when I left,and we all thought that was huge lol

Dave Kauffman Jr getting old and off the line sucks, doesn't it! Hope you can still have an active life with your disability Tjanks for your yeats of service .what dept? Been disabled for 10yeats myself..from CFD

You drive to the scene laying out hose, and then disconnect where needed, leaving the other 1500' on the truck.

wcresponder I was thinking more along the lines of Richard Petty in the drivers seat.

belzelga2 Could be....could be.

I bet training because no gear and laying a supply line no wildfire would they do that

someone needs to invent water over WiFi !

imautuber444 it was measured out with a roller wheel

imautuber444 Lol, I was wondering the same thing.... Even properly measured out, you'd think there's gotta be a pretty large margin of error with how uneven that hose is laying down... Guess not?

kaylor87 engine was in front up ahead at a rally point. They talk over CB guy in the hose truck is over watching hose length and can radio back roughly how much is left...good knowledge and communication.

Tape measure.

bkgill88 ever heard of friction loss? Do the math on this and then you'll start to realize why tandem pumping would probably be necessary for this operation.... I haven't done the math yet but with most hoses rated to 300psi, I'm sure the pressure would have to be increased somewhere along the hose lay to prevent blowing lines and to get the proper pressure to the end of the hose

I assure you it's only 6,000ft. I was driving the firetruck.

Yes, we know the "friction loss' formulas and calculations do not add up for this operation. tandem pumping was needed for the operation. Read some of the other comments, especially from long4400 and I think some of your questions have already been answered in the comments.

I was thinking that that has to be one hellva a pumper back there at the start. No place along the lay was another booster.
