ROLL-RE-ROLL

 Equipment Needed:      3 - 50 lengths of 1 1/2 inch hose
                                          1 - 1 1/2  nozzle 

Fire Gear Needed:        Boots and helmet 

Number of People:       Five (5) 

Object:  To deploy a hose line, extinguish a simulated fire, and break down the hose; restoring personnel and equipment to the original position. 

1.   Adjacent to the starting area (approximately six (6) feet away), there will be three (3) one and one half (1 1/2) inch sections of hose, in rolled fashion with male couplings in, standing in an upright position.  A nozzle will be next to the hose, standing upright. 

2.   At the whistle start, team members will unroll all three sections of hose, connect them together, and to the water supply (a water thief), then, extend the hose lay to the “end line”.  The “Nozzle Man” will then knock down two (2) cones situated approximately twenty five (25) feet away.  There must be two (2) members of the team at the nozzle when water is flowing. 

3.   When both cones have been knocked over by the fire stream, members must then shut down the water supply, disconnect the hose and nozzle, drain and re-roll the hose (with the male coupling in), and return the equipment to the original starting position.  Hose must be tightly rolled to stand upright independent of other sections or equipment. 

4.   Time will stop when all personnel have returned to their original starting line and all equipment remains upright and free standing.
