HOSE EVOLUTION

Equipment Needed:  1-   2 ˝’ hose

   1-     2 ˝’-1 ˝’ gated wye

   2-     1 ˝’ nozzles

   4-   1 ˝’ hose

   2-   armbands 

Fire Gear Needed: Helmet, coat, pants, and boots for crawlers. Gloves are optional. 

Number of People: Four (4) (2 crawlers & 2 callers) 

Two blindfolded firefighters will start at the gated wye and find their way to the nozzle by following the hoseline. Once they find the nozzle they are to knock over their designated cone with the hose stream. The callers will stand near the nozzles and direct the nozzlemans’ hose stream. Both crawling firefighters must come out on the hose that they started on. Color-coded armbands will be used to make sure the crawlers start and finish on the same line. Crawlers must stay in contact with the hose at all times. Callers may only help knocking down targets; they may not help with finding the nozzle. The wye will be placed 25’ from the nozzles.
