    We've laid 1200' of 5" out at 55mph. On a 4 lane highway. We found very positive way to secure the hose end since that day. After having loaded 5" hose for 20 years....there isn't any fire I wanna put out that bad as to lay out 6000' at once. LOL. I'll use tankers and say I did the best I could. Seriously, this is amazing. Good work.

    That's pretty neat, never seen a hose truck before. In the rural area around here we're allowed to have very big water trucks that can hold 45,000 liters so usually when there's a fire, farmers will arrive with those trucks and that will supply enough water.

    • @bkgill88
      @bkgill88  6 років тому

      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.

    @DudefromVT 9 років тому +33

    Not to play youtube armchair firegod, but at that speed don't you have issues with stress on the couplings? A department I was on had an engine that lost a load of LDH (2400ft) on a highway at 50ish mph and we had to toss or cut down quite a few lengths of hose that were either stretched and compromised or had couplings that were compromised. Also, the thought of repacking 6000 ft of LDH makes me nauseous. I hope you guys have a lot of probies.

    this might be a dumb question, but what if you don’t need exactly 6000 feet? What if the fire is, say, 4500 feet away from the source? Do you take some of the lengths of hose out of the truck before setting off, or take a longer, wriggly path, or find the closest connection point along the line and disconnect it there?

      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

    • @bkgill88
      @bkgill88  7 років тому +6

      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.

    • @NeilLB7
      @NeilLB7 7 років тому +8

      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.

      120 psi a 500gpm en 6000ft??

    6.000ft? Without any supporting pumps on the way?

    • @bkgill88
      @bkgill88  7 років тому +2

      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.

      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.

    • @evanmarcisz712
      @evanmarcisz712 7 років тому +5

      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

    • @bkgill88
      @bkgill88  7 років тому +45

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

    • @bkgill88
      @bkgill88  7 років тому +23

      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.

    • @g.r7255

    What kind of connections are you using between hoses? Here we are told to treat connectors (storz and American type) very carefully to avoid ruptures cause it's a headache getting new ones to replace them, so I feel bad when I see em here hitting the ground at that speed ahaha

    • @HaythamAlsayed
      @HaythamAlsayed 4 місяці тому +1

      The deck gun needs 80psi at the nozzle, plus another 25psi to account for appliance loss. They're probably flowing about 500gpm, so the friction loss in the supply line is about 2psi per 100 feet, or 120psi total. The supply pumper would be pumping at 120psi to get the water to the attack pumper at the correct gpm, and the attack pumper would be pumping at 105psi for the deck gun.

    Back 0n June 30th 2022 we laid 6000 feet of ldh to the Norwich transfer statiion fire after using a tanker shuttle in the beginning but we had an engine tied into the hydrant so it was being pushed up the hill. No idea who did the pick up because we were released a little earlier.
    "Water came from 10 different tanker trucks, Eyeburse said.
    Firefighters had changed their strategy by Thursday evening. Firefighters had established a relay with 6,000 feet of 5-inch hose stretched from a hydrant on Otrobando Avenue to the fire, with several pumper trucks helping to move the water. The move replaced the need for a tanker relay."

  • @jamesbomb1741

  • @jimbriggs1163

    • @bkgill88
      @bkgill88  6 років тому +1

      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.
