Advancing a hoseline up a stairwell is a resource- and energy-depleting operation, especially when a 2½-inch hoseline must be advanced up the stairwell. As the hoseline is advanced, additional hoseline is required to navigate the turns of the stairwell. Pinch points that may be created around those turns will reduce the efficiency of, or even stop, the hoseline advancement operation if they are not effectively managed. Managing these pinch points requires additional staffing.
One hoseline advancement tactic that is available to firefighters is the well-hole stretch, which utilizes the space between the sections of stairs in the stairwell. When considering a well-hole hoseline stretch operation, firefighters must always first ensure that the well hole is of adequate size to allow for the charged hoseline and couplings to pass through it. One safe practice is to have a firefighter insert both of their closed gloved fists into the well hole. If both fists fit, the well hole will be of adequate size for this type of stretch operation.
Next, the firefighter must determine how many lengths of hoseline will be necessary. If the hoseline were to be advanced up the stairwell without using the well-hole stretch tactic, one length of hoseline (50 feet) would need to be provided for every floor of the stairwell that the hoseline must ascend. Additional lengths of hoseline are also required to reach from the stairwell to the fire area, and then one length of hoseline must be allowed for the fire area itself.
Consider advancing a hoseline to the fourth floor for a fire area that is located 40 feet from the stairwell. The stairwell stretch breaks down like this:
When combined, the total length of hoseline is 300 feet.
By using the well-hole stretch technique, the number of lengths of hoseline will be greatly reduced. The well-hose stretch allows for one length of hoseline to ascend the stairwell vertically in a straight line, therefore the length of the hoseline is the same height of the stairwell. (One length of hoseline should only be considered adequate to advance up to four floors when using the well-hole stretch tactic.) It is advisable to have the hoseline exit the well hole on the floor below the fire floor and then advance up to the fire floor in the same fashion as a standpipe operation. An additional length of hoseline must be allotted for ascending the stairwell from the floor below the fire floor to the fire floor. Additional lengths of hoseline are also required to reach from the stairwell to the fire area, and then one length of hoseline must be allowed for the fire area itself. As such, the well-hole stretch breaks down like this:
When combined, the total length of hoseline is 200 feet.
Keep in mind that the amount of hose needed for the stretches described above only applies to the hoseline needs for the building itself. The amount of hose needed to cover the setback (the distance from the building entrance to the apparatus) must be determined and added to the amount of hoseline needed to cover the building. The combination of the amount of hoseline needed to cover the building as well as the setback is the total required length of the hoseline.
There are multiple techniques that firefighters can use to perform the well-hole hoseline stretch operation, whether advancing with a charged or uncharged hoseline.
Raise via utility rope —The first technique involves hoisting the hoseline up using a utility rope, and should follow these steps:
Stretch as you ascend —The second technique is for the firefighters to stretch or advance the hoseline up the well hole as they ascend the stairwell, and should include these steps::
Carry nozzle and lead length as you ascend —The difference between this technique and the second technique is that in this one, the firefighter will advance the nozzle and the lead length (50 feet) of the hoseline up the stairwell while advancing the remaining lengths of the hoseline up the well hole. To perform this technique:
Performing a well-hole hoseline stretch operation will reduce the strain that is placed on the resources available on the fire scene by reducing the length of the hoseline that must be advanced up the stairwell. This tactic will also assist in conserving the energy of the firefighters who are performing the operation, allowing them to focus their energy on the fire-attack operation. The well-hole stretch is a simple tactic that all firefighters should understand as well as be able to perform.

There are three types of private drinking water wells.

Below are descriptions of the basic components found in a private water well.

Proper well location and construction are key to the safety of your well water. The well should be located so rainwater flows away from it. Rainwater can pick up harmful bacteria and chemicals on the land’s surface. If this water pools near your well, it can seep into it and potentially cause health problems. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has an excellent web page on well siting .
Appropriate well construction depends on local geologic and groundwater conditions. Your state water-well contractor licensing agency, your local health department, or a local water system professional can provide information on proper well construction. The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) provides a guide for hiring a water system professional that covers key considerations.
Make sure any water-well drillers and pump-well installers you work with are bonded and insured. If required in your state, make sure your ground water contractor is licensed and certified. Visit the National Ground Water Association to find certified water well contractors near you. The NGWA operates its own voluntary certification program for contractors . This allows drillers, and well pump installers can receive national training certification on top of state requirements. Some states actually use the Association’s exams as their test for licensing.
