moisture is allowed to remain on the outer surfaces
17 The gasket used to make a hoseline connection watertight when the female and
male ends are connected
20 Type of valve used in pumper discharges and gated wyes. The valve is closed
when the handle is at right angles to the hose and open when the handle is in
line with the hose
21 Common hose fitting used to extend a larger diameter hoseline by connecting a
smaller diameter hoseline to the end
24 A apparatus hose load in which the hose is laid on edge around the perimeter of
the hose bed in a "U" shaped configuration
25 A hose lay where the hose is laid from the fire to the water source
26 Variety of items used in conjunction with fire hoses. These items do not have
water flowing through them
27 The lay when hose is laid from the water source to the fire

Down

2 Special type of thread that helps provide a positive connection between the
threads of an opposing coupling, and tends to eliminate cross-threading (2
words)
3 A preconnected hose load, that allows attack crews to pull hose off apparatus
and carry on their back, while the load pays off the firefighter's shoulder as he
advances towards the fire
4 Extra hose added to the basic load to provide enough hose to make a hydrant
 connection, and also to provide a working line on the fire ground (3 words)
6 Any piece of hardware used in conjunction with fire hose for the purpose of
delivering water. These have water flowing through them
7 The type of valve used to control water flowing from a hydrant which has a
baffle that is moved by a handle or screw arrangement
8 A tool used for the purpose of tightening and loosening hose couplings (2
words)
11 A sexless coupling
16 Tool used to stop the flow of water in a hoseline without shutting the line down
18 A variation of a wye appliance which allow you to connect both a 21/2 inch line
and two 11/2 inch lines at the same layout (2 words)
19 The method for breaking a coupling in which a single firefighter stabilizes the
coupling by placing one knee on the hose and shank of the female coupling,
while rotating the swivel (2 words)
20 A hose tool that allows motor vehicles and other equipment to cross over a fire
hose without coming in contact with it, thus preventing damage
22 Tool used for preventing hose damage when a hose is dragged over sharp
surfaces such as roof edges and windowsills
23 Tool which aids in carrying or handling a charged hoseline
