Questions About Supply Lines

Questions About Supply Lines

from Firefighter Hourly by Jay Lowry
The National Firefighter Near Miss Reporting System generates excellent questions for discussions. Consider the following questions as they relate to your department:
1. How much does one section of your department’s supply line weigh?
2. How many members are needed to hand stretch 500-600’ of your
department’s supply line? 800-1000’?
3. How long would it take to assemble the members needed to stretch
500-600’ of your department’s supply line?
4. What other options would you be able to employ to complete the
operation?
5. What is your department policy on using civilians to assist with
fireground operations?
