What type of hose load consists of two sections laid, a fold, and a loop around with the male end off to the side?

The Minute Man Load is specifically designed for quick deployment and ease of handling, particularly useful in firefighting scenarios where speed is essential. This type of hose load consists of two sections laid out, with a fold and a loop around, allowing the firefighter to grab the loop and deploy the hose rapidly. The positioning of the male end off to the side is intentional, enabling the firefighter to connect it quickly to a hydrant or other water source without having to uncoil the entire length of the hose.

This load is valuable in situations where firefighters must move swiftly to address emergencies, providing an efficient method for deploying hose lines. The design minimizes tangling issues and makes it easier to transport the hose, especially in varying terrain or congested areas.

Other hose load types, while functional, serve different purposes or have alternative configurations that would not provide the same quick access and deployment capabilities as the Minute Man Load.
