Firefighting Task 9:
50mm Hose Advance

50mm Hose Advance

Candidates are required to pick up the fully charged hose as follows: one hand is placed on the taskforce tip (nozzle) and the other is on the pistol grip with the hose tucked under the arm.

They are then instructed to advance 5 metres into a designated boxed area. Candidates will lean forward and slowly open the branch and follow instructions on where to direct the hose for the next two (2) minutes.

In the below table, the exercises have been split into three columns. One for exercises that can be done at a gym, one for exercises that can be done with minimal equipment and one for bodyweight exercises.
