High Rise Hose Stretch debate

It's funny you talk about the Cleveland Load beacause it is something we are looking at and trying out as a possible option for our high rise needs. The way we have brought the load together is 100'…

High Rise Hose Stretch debate

Thanks for some more insight and a little bit of support. I'm working on finding out his reasoning. I'm having to do it through the officer in charge of the training, because the officer that made th…

I have veiwed your training minutes, actually a few times, and totally agree with the way you teach it. I just have been trying to find more theories or thoughts on why people choose not to stretch u…

High Rise Hose Stretch debate

I totally agree with the "never" statement. So I have restated the questions. Do you train stretching the hose up the stairwell, uncharged, in a uncompromised stairwell past the fire floor? If you d…

Eric Myers replied to Jeremy Williams's discussion '"Cleveland Load" high rise packs' in the group Start Water
We are currently experimenting with "The Corona Role" it is the same thing as the Cleveland Load just a different name. We deploy it with our high rise packs and have one pre-connected to our 2.5" alley lay. It seems to be a hit with the crews who a…

Danny Sheridan replied to Jeremy Williams's discussion 'High Rise Hose Stretch debate'
I beleive we are talking about apples and oranges in this case. That may be true about stretching above in some other types of buildings ie. private dwellings or wood frames, but in fireproof buildings that is not the case. We always preach that you…

"Cleveland Load" high rise packs
Wondering if anyone out there is actually using the 'Cleveland load' as a highrise pack? If you are how are you packing it? Any success or problems? We are currently testing the Cleveland Load out as a highrise pack on a few of our companies and th…

We train to anticipate tenable conditions for SCBA use. That is.... what would be considered untenable for the average civilian would be tenable for fire crews already on air. Why the difference? tenable should only mean one thing right? Not necessa…

WORD! I don't want to be the crew leader that's telling the boss what the conditons are and hear "let me check my notes"!

Kevin Nowicki replied to Jeremy Williams's discussion 'High Rise Hose Stretch debate'
It is unfortunate that an officer in this day and age can only fight fire on what the book says. We promote people to company officer ranks for the purpose of making tough decisions based on situations, not pages in a book. If the book was the only…

Todd Trudeau replied to Jeremy Williams's discussion 'High Rise Hose Stretch debate'
Jeremy, I'm not officer yet either but I'm always looking for other opinions than the "box" I work in. (Looking outside can provide other prospectives which is fantastic) Anyhow, my belief is that an uncompromised stairwell is ideal for stretching t…

Ray McCormack replied to Jeremy Williams's discussion 'High Rise Hose Stretch debate'
I think you need to press him on why he is against it. Safety is achieved in many ways if the door remains closed during the procedue no harm will occur. If you charge the line from below and have to drag a charged 2 1/2 line up a flight of stairs b…

Shareef Abdu Nur replied to Jeremy Williams's discussion 'High Rise Hose Stretch debate'
I understand what your officer is saying and there was a time when stretching an uncharged line above any fire floor was forbidden. At my departments we have many high rises in our districts and we always lay the line in the stairwell above the fire…
