Gustin Pack “100’ Hose Bundle”

The Gustin Pack is a 100 Feet of 1.75” with a 7/8 smoothbore to extend a line “pre-connect” that comes up short or beyond the preconnect “off a static 2.5 or to extending a preconnected 2.5”. Can be connected to a playpipe, break apart, wye, waterthief, or what you have to feed it the proper amount of water. We named the hose pack after Captain Bill Gustin of Miami Dade. Captain Gustin is a big believer in hose bundles for the county/suburban setting to allow a portable hose package for longer stretches. This could be for a Ranch with a long setback, garden apartments, motels, or whatever building that requires more than your typical preconnect. Below is videos of what the Gustin pack is, how to stretch, snd how to load. We have been using and teaching this for nearly ten years and love it. Not really sure how we operated without it. Please checkout videos below.

It is with deep sadness that we embrace the unexpected passing of Captain William “Bill” Gustin, a distinguished, esteemed, and respected figure in the American Fire Service. With a career spanning nearly five decades, Captain Gustin profoundly influenced firefighters both nationally and internationally. His extensive knowledge and unwavering dedication were instrumental in shaping numerous training programs, including his significant contributions to CountyFireTactics.com’s High Rise Operations Conference (HROC). In the Isakson household, he was affectionately referred to as Captain “G,” symbolizing the close bonds he formed within the fire service community.

Captain Gustin’s commitment to continuous learning and excellence set him apart as a mentor, teacher, and hero. His leadership and passion for the profession have left an indelible mark on countless individuals he guided throughout his remarkable career. His legacy is evident in the thousands of firefighters he trained and the numerous lives he impacted.

In honoring Captain Gustin’s memory, we are reminded of the importance of seeking support during challenging times. No one should face their battles alone, and resources are available for those in need. While his absence leaves an irreplaceable void, his influence will resonate for generations. Let us pay tribute to his legacy by upholding his dedication to education, safety, and the enduring spirit of the fire service.

Rest in peace, Captain Gustin. Your legacy lives on in every firefighter you mentored, every life you touched, and every lesson you imparted. The fire service stands stronger because of your contributions, and your impact will be felt for years to come.
