Flat loaded for our speedlays... 2 and a Loop method for rapid deployment

Front bumper well is loaded with a horseshoe in the rear of the well with "Ears" and a donut in the front with a combination fog. The nozzle man grabs the donut with the nozzle and unrolls it while the back up man grabs the the "Ears" on the horsehoe and flakes. We have 200' in the front bumper. I learned this from a few departments in Maryland (PG County)

Rear has 250' of 2 1/2" with a gated wye and 1 3/4"smooth bore nozzle "Accordian" finish to make our "Skid Load" and then...

We also have an Apartment line which is 400' of 2 1/2" with a smooth bore... the first 200' is is a loaded like a standard flat load and then the second 200' is flat loaded upside down soo it can be shouldered... similar to a Minute Man. The nozzle sits in between the two 200' loads.

we use flat loads on everything much more easier on our guys/gals preconnected 1 3/4 have ears at 2nd and 6th layer first man grabs the nozzle and first set of ears and back up man grabs the second set of ears and if they do it right it should flake out.

Modified minuteman on crosslays(3@200 ft.) This can be deployed by 1 or 2 people.These are packed 100 ft. side by side.Start with an ear and layer first 100 ft.(bottom is pre-connected).When you get to the 100ft. coupling lay to side.Put an ear at the beginning of the next 100ft with the nozzle inside the ear and continue to layer.Connect the coupling from the first and second 100ft together.When deploying,grab the ear with the nozzle and pull out far enough to get on your shoulder then pull off truck.You can then turn and grab second ear and pull to ground or let someone else grab it.Flake ot 2nd load while pulling and walking and let load on shoulder begin to flake when second load is flaked out.
