Bearers of the Oath #5 Hose Company Operations Class

The objective of this course is to help FF’s realize the impact of an open flowing hose line. Open bale equates to controlling the fire environment which is better for the victim and all fire personnel. The instructors bring an intensity to the class and freedom from fear of failure.

First this class will go in depth with hose line deployments. It will focus on realistic fireground deployments from crosslays. Next, we will go over multiple stationary flowing positions to give the nozzleman confident techniques to flow water for an extended amount of time. Flow and move is the next portion of the class. We will teach to flow around corners and upstairs (if available). We will also cover drags and what the nozzle team needs to do if they come across a victim on their way to the fire.
We will focus on a crawl, walk, run style of teaching. This class is physically demanding and will focus on techniques that will make you a better firefighter.  You will be able to serve your citizens at a higher degree of efficiency on your fireground in your first due upon completion of this class. All Scenarios in the class will be conducted under live fire operations.
