Single-Person Hose Deployment for Vertical Operations The High Rise Hose Pack is engineered to solve the logistical challenge of moving attack lines up stairwells and over difficult terrain. Designed for "hose mule" operations in high-rise buildings or progressive hose lays in wildland scenarios, this pack allows a single firefighter to comfortably carry 150 feet of 2-inch hose (with nozzle and adapters) while keeping hands free for other tools. Key Features Backpack-Style Carry: Integrated shoulder straps allow for balanced weight distribution, reducing fatigue during long ascents or hikes. High-Capacity Storage: Accommodates up to 150 ft. of 2" hose or 1.75" double-jacket attack line, plus nozzle and standpipe adapters. Grab-and-Go Handles: Reinforced web carrying handles enable easy two-person transport or quick repositioning in tight corridors. Compact Profile: The 26" x 18" footprint keeps the load tight to the body, preventing snags in stairwells or brush. Why It Matters In high-rise fires, speed and stamina are finite resources. Traditional hose carries (like the shoulder load) are physically taxing and awkward in narrow stairwells. This pack transforms a cumbersome coil into a manageable backpack load, allowing crews to reach the fire floor with more energy and deploy their lines faster. It is equally effective for wildland crews extending lines far beyond the engine. How to Use Load: Flake or coil up to 150 ft. of hose into the pack, ensuring the nozzle is accessible. Secure: Use the internal or external straps (depending on specific fold method) to secure the load. Carry: Don the shoulder straps like a backpack for vertical ascents, or use the web handles for short drags. Deploy: At the drop point (floor below the fire or wildland anchor), release the straps and flake out the hose directly from the pack. Technical Overview Constructed from 1000 Denier Cordura® Nylon, this pack offers exceptional abrasion resistance without the weight of vinyl. It weighs just 28 oz empty, ensuring that the bulk of your load is the hose itself, not the carrier. The red color provides high visibility in low-light, smoky environments.
