When it comes to larger lines, proper construction of the 2-1/2″ bundle is critical for control and efficiency. In this episode, Brian Brush demonstrates how to build the 2-1/2″ Modified Minuteman bundle to maximize mobility and reduce kinks. He explains layout, nozzle positioning, and...
The 1-3/4″ bundle is the foundation of the Modified Minuteman setup. In this episode, Brian Brush walks through how to build the 1-3/4″ bundle step-by-step to ensure smooth and consistent deployment every time. He covers key setup details, bundle size, and placement tips that help crews...
When high fire load demands a big line, you need a fast and effective follow-up strategy. Brian Brush demonstrates how the Modified Minuteman setup allows for a quick transition from a big knockdown with a RAM monitor to a manageable handline. Watch how this method keeps operations flowing smoothly...
The drop stretch offers a flexible solution when space or layout limits traditional vertical hose deployments. In this episode, Brian Brush shows how to perform a Modified Minuteman drop stretch, highlighting when and why this option works best. See how this simple adjustment can help efficiency...
Sometimes less hose in the work area means more control and faster advancement. In this episode, Brian Brush demonstrates how a split stretch configuration can reduce working length and improve manageability. Learn how this approach makes tight stretches cleaner and reduces kinks and snags along...
Working in tight spaces demands coordination and clear communication. In this episode, Brian Brush demonstrates how the Modified Minuteman split stretch helps crews orient the hose load for confined areas like advancing between parked cars or narrow access points. By breaking the stretch into...
In this episode, Brian Brush demonstrates the Modified Minuteman 2-1/2″ back stretch from a standpipe connection. He covers setup and flaking techniques that help maintain organization and efficiency when deploying larger lines in interior environments. Learn how this configuration supports...
Back stretches are another play that the bundle brings to the fireground. In this episode, Brian Brush demonstrates how the Modified Minuteman 1-3/4″ load can make a back stretch faster, cleaner, and more efficient. He covers layout, flaking, and advancement tips that keep the line organized...
When it comes to standpipe operations, a well-placed 2-1/2″ line can make all the difference. In this episode, Brian Brush demonstrates the Modified Minuteman 2-1/2″ forward stretch in a standpipe setting. He walks through deployment and flaking techniques that help ensure a smooth...
