After seeing this video many months ago I wanted to try it. I got tired of seeing the typical crosslay becoming a spaghetti mess. We put this load on our one engine. The load looks professional and is much better to deploy. I would recommend this load to anyone!
+ff5gus We have not found it to be very fatiguing brother but thanks for the input. It's a common load and we try to address as much information as possible. Keep weighing in, we appreciate the feedback.
How is it that you have tradition to support the number of hits... when I was requested to release my copyright to " hoseroller.net " to Texas A & M University because not only can I deploy the hose dry around right angle turns with no tail to get caught on a car tire at: Standard.HFTFire.com as it NEVER kinks EVER... before deploying to its full length upon: Hoseroller.info but I can charge to the full rated capacity of the nozzle through the entire line within 10 ft of the engine in mere seconds as demonstrated at: burnover.HFTFire.com ...AND deploy this fully charged line (as I can with 200 feet of 2 1/2" within eight (8') feet of the tailboard of any engine) from the confined space between the parked engine and adjacent van... FULLY CHARGE... then around right angle turns in which the term "HOSE ROLLER" transitions from a noun... to a verb at: nodraghoseload.com Please review the WORLD's FIRE EVER Engine Pressure calculator phone apps and slide-rule to calculate in seconds what takes minutes in the comfort a classroom with a standard pocket calculator... but in the field where you can keep up in REAL-TIME with your wildland fire crew at every step of deployment...

I invite any and all inquiries and responses!
Best way to firefighter-proof anything is training. We're not lay people. No load is perfect on the bed. How well it works is on us. The Minuteman limits spaghetti and can be deployed by one firefighter. Does it come with issues crosslays don't have? Sure, but so what? Train. That's the answer to everything.
@@thisiswhowearehostedbystev9417 Not really. After 35 years on the job, full time, and an instructor the best thing to do is KISS! Give a fireman 2 steel balls and put him in a round room naked. At the end of 24 hours he will have broken one and lost the other.
@@LeonSandcastle69 You go ahead and do that. You'll eventually beat your head into a wall. Had a student tell me, "You give too much information. Just tell us about what we need to pass the state test." Really!!! Some times in the course of a discussion or just BSing, you know as well as I do, things stick in your head and you use them. I listened to the old guys when I got on in 1979. I survived the war years in a Northeast urban city burning 3 houses a night and usually not with SCBA. Not a good idea. But to have a shaved tail rookie make a statement like that to me, that cinched it!
@@LeonSandcastle69 Sad to read your composition. The minute man has been around longer than you and "veteran" firefighters have reasons for disliking something. Complications should be engineered out of a system and then, and only then, should the deficiencies be excused by emphasizing training. Take a look around...the fire service keeps coming full circle after someone finds "a better way" to do something for a reason.

Why on earth would you fatigue your hand line men right from the get go dragging hose off the rig like that.

Too many variables in this load that could cause deployment to go off track. Keep it fireman proof!

sad to hear the attitude of “veteran” firefighters. the rest of us will push the service forward. keep training.
