Working with the DL Blitz Load

摘要

The DL blitz load is a 250-foot, 2 1/2-inch blitz attack line equipped with the nozzle of your choice. It is designed for efficiency, maneuverability, and quick deployment for short-staffed or fully staffed volunteer and career engine companies. It offers firefighters a more simple packing procedure and deployment that is considered clean and neat. The lightweight design puts less stress on firefighters before they conduct suppres- sion activities. One firefighter can deploy the load systematically. The DL Blitz Load allows the driver-operator to establish pumping operations while the company officer focuses on the 360° size-up and a single firefighter deploys the blitz load. The decreased weight of breaking the DL Blitz Load into two stacks allows a firefighter to deploy the load more easily. It can be deployed straight or 45°, 60°, or 90° from the hosebed. The 125-foot pivot point allows the firefighter to change directions when laying the line after the hosebed has been cleared and before the initial 125-foot shoulder stack has been deployed-no more "spaghetti" at the rear of the engine!
