Photos from a firefighter survival class held in NY in October 2015. The goal of the class was to teach firefighters how to use their skills and equipment to save themselves in the event of a catastrophe. It was a 3-story course including wall breaches, tunnels, falling ceilings, and other obstacles. In this photo, firefighters are examining the coupling on the hose to determine if they are going the right direction. Feeling the coupling tells you which way is to the pump, and which way is to the nozzle.
