Hose Line Advancement Training
By Sadsburyville Fire Company No. 1
June 30, 2014
On June 30th, 2014, Sadsburyville and Westwood firefighters conducted a joint training session. The topic of the night was hose line advancement and management.
Engine 31-1 and firefighters from both fire companies practiced advancing the 300' 1-3/4" attack line from the rear of Engine 31-1 using one and two firefighters. Following pulling and racking that hand line, Rescue 44 and firefighters practiced pulling and racking the 350' 1-3/4" attack line off the rear of Rescue 44.
After the lines were advanced, firefighters donned their breathing apparatus and attacked live car fires. Numerous evolutions were conducted allowing all firefighters to train with the different hose line deployments and new breathing apparatus in service on the Westwood fire apparatus.
