Putting the line between your legs and hooking your right leg around it pretty much eliminates the need for a backup man. Him feeding you line and you advancing using that technique is the quickest way I’ve ever seen a hose line move. Instead of using arm strength to pull the hose you’re using your lower body. Give it a try it’s a game changer.
Left leg out, right hooked on the hose. It lets you redirect quickly as well or even roll over to cool your mask if you're stuck under flash over while retaining control. I found it a lot easier to move that way.
Very useful method thanks. I can see this would be useful if you had concerns about a floor collapsing or holes etc. Stay safe and best wishes from the UK.
Funny thing is I can’t put wait on my knee because I have a Osgood-Schlatters Knee. Meaning my upper shin bone, right under my knee sticks out. Getting on one knee was always painful during football practice, so I used to sit on my heel. I have a pat mock coming up, so I’m gonna use this method.
I like it as an alternative option, but I question how effective it would be when encountering furniture along the wall. It's easier to get up real quick to read the wall over a couch, or bed, or table. I'll have to try it with that scenario.
Good technique but my only thought is that closed rooms may be passed because you need a hand to sweep the wall for doorknobs and such in a zero visibility situation.
ben garcia we were taught similar position. Bent knee in front advancing up the stairs and rear leg is the driving/power leg. Hose with hip grip or tucked under arm to still allow you to flow water
It looks good in demo but in real life, most all firefighters I know are just semi crouched. Dragging along the ground like that is expending so much effort and is slow.. And if short staffed with no one to help give you hose, its gonna suck. The only low advancement I would get with is wear you slide it under you with your knee
Good technique. You mention not using the tool to extend your reach when searching because you might stick the horn of the haligan into a person, turn the tool around. I would rather extend my reach them miss someone.
If you are concerned about reach, place your tool against the wall to extend your reach. This will maintain contact with the wall but places you further into the room. I like the method shown, and I teach similar theories especially with handline advancement. My only concern is in doing so you lose the ability to search the wall for additional doors or windowsills.
If your worried about extending your reach just put your tool on the wall and go out. it will be the same distance whether you search with a tool, or you search with your hand
This is an excellent training tidbit. I am not ashamed...thanks for teaching me how to crawl Jason!
I like how you demonstrate the techniques will all your gear on; helmet, turnouts, pack, TIC and flashlight.
Not everyone demos like that.

Keep limbered up. Regular stretching and maintaining leg strength. Because this takes a lot of strength especially on carpeted floors.

Thank You!! Will teach younger guys. I was taught the old way.
Jason Jefferies is an awesome instructor. He was one of my favorites from OSFM Breathing Equipment School in Gastonia!
I’ve been getting killed in academy bc of poor technique. Thank you for this
Great video!!!
Great video thank you for the tip!

Rock on!
I have always been taught, Don't go to the ground till it beats you down there or the conditions warrant it. Good stuff though.
do have a better way of getting a line up a flight of stairs? we were taught to crawl up as well.
Have your back up make a loop, and push the loop up
I agree with everything but i do feel that its important to know how to search with a tool

The biggest piece of misinformation was calling that tool a Haligan lol
?
I've tried it works

You won't be happy until you've shanked _every_ four year old in the temple, will you

What about holding the hose and also a hand tool ?
The nozzle is your tool, the officer and truck company have tools
Your SCBA LDV Become obstacle and break. Better secure in your chest
1 1/2 attack line?
Primary search is all about speed. Good method, but not enough to convert over.
Ah excuse me; your regulator
Oh your that one guy that always points out the ONE mistake
@@saulgoodmanfromthehittvsho1314 lol you are right .
