Good question.
Maybe the A shift packed the flat load and the B shift the accordian!! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hysterical.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Maybe a good reason.

That was how it was spelled out in the DCFD Training Manual at that time. It called for the hosebeds to be loaded with the left bed holding 600' 3" Forward Lay (Flat), the right bed 600' 2.5" Reverse lay (accordian). As additional 3" was supplied to Engine Companies to fill both beds on both the Wagon and Pumper with 3", the flat lay became standard for both beds on both pieces of the DCFD's 32 Engine Companies.
