What is a triple-layer load?
triple layers MUST have at least have an area three times the length of the hose bed to deploy properly. In order to be properly deployed the triple-layer load requires a space one third the total length of the hose for the initial pull irrespective of the hose bed length.
What is a common method to load Preconnect attack hose?
There are various methods to stack or load the hose. The most traditional and easiest is the flat load. The flat load is loaded across the bed length, stacking one on top of another. This mimics loads found on large-diameter supply lines, making it easy to correlate all loads together.
What is a Cleveland load?
The Cleveland load (aka Metro load or Roundabout load) is handline load primarily used for high-rise applications from what I have found. Other applications would be when deploying a handline not pre-connected to the engine.
Which statement is correct concerning the triple layer load?
What is the correct procedure for the triple-layer load? The entire load must be on the ground before the nozzle can be advanced. Which preconnected hose load forms an S-shape in the hose bed?
Which is one of the three most common loads for Preconnected attack lines?
The three most common hose loads used for preconnected attack lines are the minuteman load, the flat load, and the triple-layer load.
Which statement is correct concerning the triple-layer load?
What is a Dutchman in the fire service?
Dutchman — A term used for a short fold placed in a hose when loading it into the bed. This fold prevents the coupling from turning in the hose bed.
What is a Cleveland load used for?
What is a preconnected load?
This basic preconnected load is easy to facilitate and is normally in line with other loads found on the truck, i.e., large-diameter and three-inch hose. The flat load begins like all others.
What is the length of a preconnect?
Preconnects normally range in length from 100 to 200 feet with some 300-foot preconnects being available. Deploying this handline is likely done at almost every working fire, so I ask, Why is that we spend so little time training, reviewing, and honing this essential tool and skill set?
What is the size of a pre connected attack line?
This task is often completed with a preconnected attack line varying in size from 1½ to two inches with some type of nozzle to obtain a desired pattern. Preconnects normally range in length from 100 to 200 feet with some 300-foot preconnects being available.
How do you use a preconnect well?
You connect the hose to the discharge in the preconnect well, and the hose is then loaded back on top of itself, moving back and forth across the hosebed until the desired length of hose is loaded. Options include inserting loops or “dog ears” into the load at the 100-foot mark to allow that amount to quickly be deployed from the apparatus.
