Hose work is one of the foundations of the fire service.

For Class 262, that means learning the details, building muscle memory, and getting the reps in. Deployments, rolls, folds, handling, control, and the practical skills that support safe, effective fireground operations.

Strong fundamentals matter. Every evolution starts with the basics.

The first week sets the tone.

Firefighter I & II Class 262 spent Week 1 building the fundamentals, getting reps in, and developing the skills that every firefighter needs before stepping onto the fireground.

PPE and SCBA. Extinguishers. Ropes and knots. Ladders. Equipment handling. Teamwork. Discipline. Repetition.

This is where confidence starts to form.

This is where the foundation gets built.
