Working on some REVERSE LAY evolutions for the first due engine 💧🔥🚒 Reverse lays are a solid option for when the best hydrant is located past the fire building, or when what you didn't expect to be a fire turns into one (this scenario should not included a reported structure fire, but perhaps an alarm, other fire type, or even a med run). Instead of laying from the hydrant to the fire, it is laying from the fire to the hydrant. This can be done from an engine to the hydrant, but also as a sin

Great clip of "the hybrid reverse lay". 🚒💦🔥 This technique is a bit of a variation of the reverse lay that some departments (FDNY, Detroit) execute. In those scenarios (to best of my knowledge), the attack engine drops at the fire and goes to the hydrant. No other engine ends up at the front of the fire building. In this video, the engine drops two separate lines. The attack line, and the separate supply line. The scenario is that that the best hydrant is past the house... Dropping the supply

In this episode, Jerry Herbst goes over how to properly hook up to a standpipe using an Inline Pressure Gauge, High Rise Elbow, and Hydrant Gate. These individual appliances offer a great amount of flexibility in the hook up configuration, and have a very important role when used together.
