Deputy ChiefWilliam Perritt, Hartsdale (NY) Fire District
This class is a review of the skill set needed to complete hose stretches from the static hosebed in the suburban environment. Most fire departments throughout the country have developed skill and experience stretching and operating preconnected hose systems, but many are not prepared for the challenges of stretching past the limits of their longest preconnected hoseline. A well-designed static hosebed allows for the short-staffed suburban department to stretch successfully at fires where the stretch demands more than 200 feet of hose. The class will deconstruct the static stretch and focus on each component part, covering static hosebed design, apparatus positioning, estimating the stretch, and performing the stretch. Student will learn options for the design of their static hosebed, techniques to estimate the stretch, and proper techniques to complete the static stretch in the reduced-staffed suburban fire department.
