I agree with Russ that it would be fantastic if Ray could do one of his video's on standpipe stretches and advances.

Russ can you explain how the Denver fold is "heavier" then the FDNY rollup?

Mike
Excuse me if I am ingnorant of the fold, but the FDNY fold is carried on the shoulder. The Denver Roll is carriedn on the SCBA. I have tired both. My shoulders hurt after the Denver Roll, the FDNY rollup does not bother me nor my students that I teach in standpipe ops. Go figure! I really don't have an answer for you. Just experience in carrying both. Be safe Bro, thanks for keeping this blog going.

Russ,

Please oh please get some pictures of this, I would love to see it. I am intriqued.

You guys have no idea how much I learn from you, it is my honor to learn from you all.

The Denver Fold can also be carried over your shoulder instead of the cylinder. I prefer to carry it kinda diagonally, over a shoulder to the front and across the top and down the opposite side of the cylinder. Even with the pack size at 32" this rides nicely and leaves the hands free for carrying a hand tool, the high rise bag and using the hand rails on the stairs.

Mike,

Do you subscribe to WNYF magazine? If you do, I'll post an issue that describes the pack. I'd do it now, but the issue is at work and I am at home. I'll post it tomorrow.

There is a video with LT Ray McCormack (FDNY) on this site where he is talking about standpipe operations you can see the lay in that video. Great Video by the way.

Art,

No I don't subscribe to it but perhaps I should.

Wayne,

Thanks for informing of the Training Minutes video, it was very good. I hope Ray does a follow up on actual hose line deployment off of Standpipes.

Mike,

I would highly recommend this magazine. It has always provided excellent training information along with incident reviews from the FDNY. Here is a link to subscription info.
