Elkhart Brass Presents: The Flat Load: Simple, Versatile, Proven with Kyle Romagus
The Flat Load remains one of the most adaptable hose loads in the fire service. In this session, Kyle Romagus expands on his Brass Tacks instruction and demonstrates how the Flat Load can be configured to match your apparatus, response profile, and operational needs. From basic setup to split, triple, invert, and take and break variations, this class explores why simplicity often leads to reliability.
Through practical demonstrations and deployment scenarios, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how loading technique, hose management, and apparatus layout influence fireground performance. Whether refining your current setup or evaluating changes, this class will provide the tools to build a Flat Load that works for your engine company.
