Time and time again we see fire companies who are stretching short, and it’s inexcusable. The primary reason we are stretching short, is that crosslays have taken over the American fire service. In this class, we will discuss multiple ways to set-up long lines that will work for you regardless of your manpower. We will take a long look at bulk beds, preconnected long lines, and other options. The uses of these lines are paramount in today’s fire service. We will discuss attack packages and estimating the stretch. We will also look at alternate stretches, and decision making for fires in private and multi-family dwellings, as well as those out of the ordinary stretches.

Remember, there are almost as many ways to rack and deploy your lines, as there are departments in this country. You must find the right set-up that works for your fire department and territory. Bulkbeds and long lines are the past AND the future of the fire service. Let us help you with your long game!
