We use Cleveland loads at our station, easy to use and fast to deploy! I always like to pack cleveland and its a very good excersise for arms and shoulders
I just saw his for the first time today. Awesome!! I plan On re doing our highrise packs to this setup. lokks a hell of alot easier then the way we have them now!! (the traditonal way)
in my first due we have everything from strip malls to schools then an airport marinas and projects. this works well everywhere we have used it. the ten ft section is just to get the wye out of the standpipe box if there is one. only down fall is it puts the wye in the middle of the floor where it can be shut off. we use this for our attack line at the marinas, works great for the docks and finger piers
@ChrisE631, my dept changed to this load for all of our initial attack hose , we have had no problems with this load if loaded correctly, i am with a rural fire dept with minimum manpower at times and this is a great load, we use both smooth bore and fog nozzles and have had no problems with it.
@ChrisE631 The smoothbore nozzle is your problem. It takes away the pressure. It was stated in the video not to deploy an uncharged hose line. The reason is the coiling of the hose will naturally kink by untwisting. This kinking happens when there is not enough pressure on the hose.
its a nice load as far as initial deployment is concerned, however unless its used mainly as a primary attack line that is not going to be shut down at all on scene, it has a tendancy to corkscrew along the length of the line which in itself doesn't cause a problem but as soon as the water is shut down to that line for any reason and the line is moves it binds up like nothing i can desribe. after that happens, it will be extremely difficult in re-establishing a water supply to that hose again.
You can drop your nozzel upside down and facing you on the ground. Step on it. And then simply feed hose up the stairs. Once you've gotten the desired amount up the stairs simply pick up the nozzel and have at it. All of the weight from the water is already above you so you can basicly just run with it with no worries. You can go up stair wells by just leaving the nozzel an moving yourself up the stairs and simply facing the set of stairs you wish to feed the hose up.
@ntstick06 We have been using this load too, with great results. Contrary to what ChrisE631 says, there is no need to leave a firefighter with the load. It will play out just fine. Keep safe!
Good load. We call it the Dunkin Donut. Should probably go with light-weight 2 1/2 though for high rise and standpipe ops. Did you check that gated wye for a gasket?! :) Must have been bay day.
Try using a coiled hose bundle to deploy in a matter of seconds and without the need to arrange the hose to remove the kinks. Go to 3 w's period hftfire period com I patented the coil method in 2001 inclujding the device that both rolls and coils hose to its MINIMUM INSIDE CRITICAL DIAMETER. I learned this method as a wildland fire fighter in 1981, introduced it to structural fire fighting in 1991, and invented the device that does it all so one firefighter can do the work of four in seconds.
Great video but can someone tell me why did you add the 10ft of 3 inch hose? Why not hook the gated Y directly to the standpipe. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks, be safe
robert bierman...the 10 ft section of 3" acts as sort of a "pony roll" for the stand pipe. Depending on the design of the stand pipe you may have interference issues with the handles on the gated wye. I know some of the stand pipes in my jurisdiction are in cabinets and when you go to open the valves the handles hit on the cabinet.

awesome demo; I plan on showing this at our next training meeting and redo our high rise packs to match this; great job and thanks.
thanks man
we try to use this type of hoaseload in my dept. in germany an it works realy nice thanks again
We use this it works and you don't have to fight your line its awesome

Why can't I deploy it before charge with a hose? Or why not.
Good job on the video! Dirt simple!

thank you!
love it
has anyone tried 2 1/2" hose? I would think the circles might have to be bigger
dog collars work great 2
