What hose load involves loading the hose on its side, back and forth?

Flat load
Accordion load
Minute man load
Donut load

The correct answer is: Accordion load

The accordion load involves arranging the hose in a side-to-side fashion, creating a series of folds that resemble an accordion. This method is particularly effective for managing longer lengths of hose, allowing for quick deployment when needed. The design of the accordion load helps to minimize kinks and allows the firefighter to easily pull the hose from the load without having to untangle it, making it practical for various firefighting scenarios. This technique is favored for its efficiency in both transport and usable hose length upon deployment, facilitating quick response times when a firefighting crew arrives on the scene.
