This is not just a hose bundle. This is a well thought out shoulder load that eliminates variables and ensures the user doesn’t have to spend cognitive bandwidth to deploy.

-easily identifiable loops to pull when back stretching
-straps that face up and rip in the same direction
-the 50ft coupling dutchmened toward the front of the pack for ease of use when forward stretching.
-straps secured tight enough and the bundle built tight enough that it won’t fall apart prior to deployment.

These things don’t happen by accident; eliminating the variables only protects against Murphy sticking his nose in our business.

Take pride

Pre-wetting conditions around corners helps the advance by improving conditions for everyone involved. Use the stream to defeat the building before we even make the corner. After we cool the box we’re in, turn your attention to the next box and manipulate your stream to cool as you advance.

Knowledge is a subset of belief.
You can believe your flows are correct but do you KNOW they are correct?
Things like new hose, different nozzles, a new engine, or even just the pump losing efficiency over time can make once accurate pump charts become out of date.
Our Know Your Flow class is designed to update those pump charts so you can be sure you’re flowing the GPM you expect when it matters.
We aren’t salesmen; our first priority is to make sure your equipment is as efficient and effective as possible.
