    I taught a variation of this tonight at my volunteer department and to say it was well received would be an understatement.

    Mind blown, wide open!! 📖 Very helpful, and how smooth and fluent the instructor was at performing, he look like he was break dancing! Strong work!

    We just watched this in drill tonight, and then proceeded to practice it. LOTS of fun :)

    I joined my town Volunteer Fire Department a few months ago, and I have gotten to use a 2½ but never had to handle it fully but she is a beast that's for sure. Where we are there aren't any big structures that would need that big of a line so our training is focused on 1½ cause it suits all our needs. We mainly only deal with brush fires and the occasional vehicle fire, structure fires are very rare around here.

    Great techniques, I'll definitely be implementing them from now on.

    My issue with the beginning of this vid is letting the hose go and whipping it around. On our fireground ops, a hose at 210gpm and 107psi will get out of control if let go and whipped like that, however with departments us it less water and pressure it would work. The foot lock for advancing hose is a great tool though. Nice instruction.

    Pretty good vid. I learned some of these same techniques about 13 years ago from a instructor from Las Vegas. I think his name was Paul Shapiro and he taught a class called "Big Water," or something like that.

    Very enjoyable...but I have a question. With showing the rolling over (staying low) and the advancement with using your leg....how does this work with your back up person or what do they do? Both are shown with the nozzleman only.

    I was watching Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather highlights. Don't know how I got here lol
  • @scfdrookie
    What pressure were you operating the line at? Tried this with out 75 psi 200 gpm and it was a struggle.
