How come one bed is flat and one is accordian (or horseshoe is thats the case)?
So the 2 1/2" hose can be used as an attack-line or a supply-line. The accordian rack makes it easier for the men to take "x" folds and place it over their shoulder and then head towards the fire.
Left to right: 150' 1 1/2 " hoseline tray above, 250' 1 1/2" hose line, 600' 3" hose racked flat as supply line, 600' 2 1/2" hose racked accordian can be used as 2 1/2" attack line or supply line if dual lines are laid, rear soft-sleeve and finishing out the rear right side is the 350 which is 350' of 1 1/2" hoseline. Add the standpipe rack, the standpipe bag, and the small-line and you have some choices. Run a preconnect, run the rack and bag, run the 2 1/2" to the desired length, pull the small line, or make up whatever combination you need to fit the situation given upon arrival.

A variation of what Lt. Kemp's talking about with the accordian load for you peeps that have never worked with one. They're dragging rather than loading.
