Job Performance Requirement 10-9 Twin-Donut Hose Roll

A First the hose is laid flat with both couplings at one end and each half lying parallel to the other.

B At the center, the loop is folded over the top of both halves. JPR 10-9B

C The roll is started toward the couplings at the same time. JPR 10-9C

D At the end, the roll may be tied together for carrying. JPR 10-9D

E The twin donut can be secured by using the hose itself E The twin donut can be secured by using the hose itself. This is called a self-locking roll. To accomplish this, extend the amount of hose that is used for the starting fold and loop. Allow this excessive hose to “flop” as the twin donuts are rolled. When finished, use the extra hose at the center to form a bight around the two end couplings. (Photo courtesy Loveland Fire and Rescue) JPR 10-9E
