Q

Back-up Line

A

Hose line used to protect the egress of crews operating on the interior of a structure. Back-up lines shall operate from an area of relative safety where they can rapidly come to the aid of personnel they are protecting. A back-up line has 2 modes of operation: Standby and Back-up Modes. Either can be referred to as a Back-up line.

A

The line is laid near the point of entry for use by personnel who are assisting with fire attack and who are part of the “2 out.” In Standby Mode, the line only enters the IDLH if needed for immediate protection of interior crews in an emergent situation.

A
  1. Stand on ground, grasp the Attack 50 strap w/ left hand and pull 1/3 out of the bed.
  2. Grasp the Attack 50, pivot counter-clockwise and remove the hose from the bed and center it on the right shoulder.
  3. Proceed to the objective, keeping the Attack 50 on the shoulder. For more hose, grasp the next coupling w/ the free hand.
  4. After the call for water, the engineer shall pull an additional 50’ section and connect to a discharge.
47
Q

(2.02) Steps for shoulder loading from the 2 1/2” and 1 3/4” bulk beds.

A
  1. The first FF stands on the ground facing the bed and grasps the Attack 50 strap and pulls it 1/3 out of the bed.
  2. Pivot counter-clockwise and place the attack 50 on the right shoulder. Remove it completely from the bed and step forward 1 or 2 steps.
  3. The 2nd FF, with the pulled hose on his/her left side, steps onto the tailboard and w/ thumbs up, grasps all the folds of the next section, including the marker bight.
  4. Check behind, then step off the tailboard and pull the hose partially out of the bed. While pivoting counter-clockwise, flip the hose onto the right shoulder (thumbs end up facing down). Step forward to remove the hose from the bed. Hose should flake from the top.
  5. The coupling to the next section should be behind the shoulder.
  6. All subsequent shoulder loading will follow steps 3-5.
  7. After the call for water, the engineer shall pull an additional 50’ and connect.
48
Q

(2.02) Steps for deploying hose from the transverse bed.

A
  1. Face the bed, pull the Attack 50 1/3 the way out of the bed.
  2. Pivot counter-clockwise and place the center of the Attack 50 on the right shoulder.
  3. Proceed to the objective, keeping the Attack 50 intact, on the shoulder. Grasp the next coupling if more hose is needed.
  4. After the call for water, the engineer will pull an additional 50’ and conect.
49
Q

(2.02) Steps for shoulder loading from the transverse bed.

A
  1. Face the bed and load the attack 50 on your shoulder and shoulder load hose onto your right shoulder (50’ for 2 1/2” and 75’ for 1 3/4”).
  2. The next FF faces the bed with the hose on his left side. With the hose from the 1st FF runing under the left arm and across the chest, place the coupling behind the right shoulder and load the next compliment of hose.
  3. All subsequent shoulder loading follow 2.
  4. When sufficient hose is shoulder loaded, each FF will pivot counter-clockwise and drop 1 fold to the ground. Proceed to the objective shoulder flaking out the hose, beginning w/ the last FF.
  5. The engineer will pull and additional 50’ and connect.
50
Q

(2.02) Steps for deploying the primary bundle or skidload.

A
  1. Grasp a bight in each hand and pull the bundle out 1/3.
  2. Pivot counter-clockwise and draw the hose out of the bed until it is centered on the right shoulder and proceed to the objective.
51
Q

(2.02) Steps for removing the primary bundle or skidload on a reverse lay.

A
  1. Grasp a bight in each hand. Check behind, step back and withdraw the bundle to the ground and clear of the rig.
  2. Position the primary bundle away and separate from the highrise bundles.
52
Q

(2.02) Steps for removing the 1 3/4” bundles on a reverse lay and shoulder loading 1 3/4” bundles.

A

The technique is the same as shoulder loading the primary bundle. The 1 3/4” bundles may be removed separately, but it is difficult. It is better to remove both, lay them on the ground and reshoulder load the desired bundle. Care must be taken that the nozzle of the bundle does not strike the ground.

53
Q

(2.02) Steps for shoulder loading supply hose.

A
  1. Step up on the tailboard. Lift the supply hose to include the first 50’ bight and the end of the hose w/ hydrant adapter.
  2. With thumbs up, grasp all the folds of the section, incl the marker bight.
  3. Check behind, step off the tailboard and pull the hose 1/3 out of the bed. While pivoting counter-clockwise, rotate the hose onto the right shoulder (thumbs end up down). Step forard to remove from the hose from the bed. Flaking the hose should start from the top.
  4. If needed, place the hydrant bag on the tailboard and remove the supply hose with attached hydrant adapter. Step forward to allow room for 2nd FF.
  5. The 2nd FF, w/ pulled hose on left side, steps on tailboard and w/ thumbs up, grasps all folds of the next section, incl marker bight.
  6. Check behind, step off and pull partially out of the bed. Pivot counter-clockwise and rotate hose onto right shoulder (thumbs end up down).
  7. The coupling to the next section should be behind the shoulder.
  8. All subsequent shoulder loading will follow steps 5-7, until the stacks are depleted.
  9. When the stacks are depleted, the next FF, will face the bed w/ pulled hose running under left arm and across the chest and will shoulder load onto right shoulder until the next coupling is reached. The coupling is loaded so it rests behind the right shoulder. Load 1 additional flake.
  10. Pivot counter-clockwise, drop the flake and step forward.
  11. All subsequent shoulder loading will follow steps 9 and 10.
  12. The engineer will uncouple and connect to discharge.
54
Q

(2.02) Steps for crosslotting 1 3/4” and 2 1/2” hose from a bulk bed

A
  1. Face the bed and pull the attack 50 1/3 out of the bed.
  2. Pivot counter-clockwise and place attack 50 on the right shoulder and remove it.
  3. 2nd FF, with the hose on his left, feeds hose out of bed until the next coupling. Before the coupling, pivot counter-clockwise and place hose on right shoulder, w/ coupling behind the shoulder. Advance to the objective.
  4. Repeat step #3 for subsequent FF’s.
55
Q

(2.02) Steps for cross lotting supply hose

A
  1. Obtain hydrant bag - may be carried by 1st or 2nd FF.
  2. Grasp the supply hose, w/ the hydrant adapter attached, w/ the left hand. Turn counter-clockwise and walk toward the hydrant w/ hose on right shoulder. Keep the hose close to the body for control.
  3. Advance to the objective.
  4. The 2nd FF, w/ hose on his left, feeds hose out of bed until the next coupling. Before the coupling, pivot counter-clockwise and place hose on right shoulder (coupling behind shoulder). Advance to the objective.
  5. Repeat step #4 for subsequent FF’s.
56
Q

(2.02) Steps for grounding 1 3/4”, 2 1/2” and supply hose from the bulk beds

A
  1. Determine size of hose and distance to objective.
  2. Face the bed, grasp the first 50’ tier w/ both hands and pull the hose to the ground while stepping backwards off the tailboard.
  3. If the line is to be deployed toward the front of the engine, pull the entire first 50’ section to the side of the apparatus; should lay perpendicular to the side.
    If the line is to be deployed to the side of the engine, pull the first 50’ section to the rear, keeping the folds parallel w/ the apparatus and to the side it will be deployed.
    In both cases the sections shall be kept together on the ground in complete, neat folds.
  4. Return to the hose bed and grasp the next 50’ tier of hose. Remove that section and ground it next to the 1st section, on the side away from the objective.
  5. Repeat until sufficient hose is grounded. After enough hose is grounded, break the last coupling and connect it as directed by the engineer.
  6. Crosslot to the objective. The hydrant bag may be carried by the 1st or 2nd FF.
57
Q

(2.03) What are the 3 methods of coupling hose?

A
  1. 1 FF - foot-tilt method - stand on the hose behind the male coupling to tilt it up.
  2. 2 FF’s - each holds a coupling - FF holding male coupling looks away
  3. Stortz coupling
58
Q

(2.03) What are the 6 methods of uncoupling hose?

A
  1. 1 FF - foot-tilt method - stand on the hose behind the coupling to tilt it up.
  2. 1 FF - knee-press method - for coupling difficult to uncouple - stand the coupling on end and kneel on it so the pressure allows it to be loosened.
  3. 2 FF’s - standing method - each holds a coupling.
  4. 2 FF’s - stiff arm method - each holds a coupling and press them in towards each other, to compress the gasket and allow it to loosen.
  5. Storz - 1 FF - like knee-press method
  6. Storz - 2 FF - like stiff arm method
