Check out the “Automatic Hose Loader” we found at @interschutz_hannover …. Imagine. All that money spent just to have the boss have you pull it all off and load it the correct way every time. That’s the ramen noodle load. 🍜 Loading hose builds morale. Builds crew integrity as well Is the BC gonna haul that to the scene? But does it yell "COUPLING" But then how will 15 firefighters help load 5” Looks like a pile of spaghetti Look at all that single jacket hose 😂 The wheel is still round for a reason. Looks like he must be on “A-Shift”the way he is loading that in the bed. My chief and assistant chief would have a fit That’s not parade ready. Every fire department has a automatic hose roller. It's called the probie, the red ass otherwise known as The New Guy I'd take a Hose Mule over that any day! Clint Baker Impressive. Now teach it how to say, ‘That’s not how we did it at my last department.’ Taking the rookies job.... Looks like it was loaded with a pitch fork. With that hose bed actually mounted on a truck you would need to stand on your head to fold the hose properly. 😂 As a operator I would have never let that happen to my engine. As a captain I would have watched them load it and then told him to take it off and do it right. As a battalion chief I would have stood beside the captain watching and then asked him or her are you going to tell them or am I? Looks like semi-automatic to me.
Single jacket 3”…..yikes?! Jacob Wharton your replacement! Lol! When you take an already easy job and try to make it “easier”, results may vary If my folds had looked like that in my days in firefighting, I would’ve rightfully been yelled at and told to empty the bed and reload it. Most union decisions are made at the kitchen table and when loading hose ! … if ya ain’t loading it by hand .. you’re lazy…

It's Fireworks Awareness Month, and here's your tip for the day! Sparklers burn at about 2,000 degrees – hot enough to melt some metals - they're a lot more dangerous than most people think. They can quickly ignite clothing, and children have gotten severe burns from dropping sparklers on their feet. According to the National Fire Protection Association, sparklers alone account for more than 25% of emergency room visits for fireworks injuries. For children under 5 years of age, sparklers accounted for nearly half of the total estimated injuries. Especially for children, consider using safer alternatives, like glow sticks, confetti poppers or colored streamers.
