Hoseline Operations for Residential Fires

摘要

Proficiency in stretching, advancing, and operating hoselines cannot be achieved by studying a book or by discussion in a classroom "chalk talk." Hose evolutions require skill and teamwork developed only through frequent, intense, and realistic drills. There are several ways to get a hoseline into position and operating. It is up to each fire department to preplan the residential developments in their jurisdiction, such as courtyard and garden apartments, to devise the most effective hose evolution for each occupancy (photo 1).
