Deschutes River Manufacturing Customer Testimonials
"We have used the Rookie for the past three years
during out annual NFPA hose test process The Rookie greatly
increased our efficiency, quickly rolling both 1"
and 1.5" wildland hose and 1.5", 2.5",
and 3" structure hose. The Rookie has saved us hundreds
of man-hours that were formerly spent hand-rolling over
50,000 feet of hose each year."
Andy Louden, Battalion
Chief
Corvallis, Oregon Fire Department
"The first time we used The Rookie I had no
question that this was a piece of equipment our department
needed. The Rookie hose roller is great when you are dealing
with long hose lays and hose tests. It's helpful
in both the manpower issues and just plain time issues
that most departments face."
David Matthews, Assistant
Chief
East Bend, North Carolina V.F.D.
"Within a couple days of talking to Deschutes River
Manufacturing, we had The Rookie Sidekick and Reloader
here for our 30-day trial. After our department tried
it, we felt it was a piece of equipment we had to have.
We recently upgraded to 5-inch hose on our engines. The
Rookie Sidekick has helped us out with that for two main
reasons: One is safety — the larger diameter hose
is heavier, harder to handle and more likely to cause
back injuries. And the other is time — The Rookie
does a better job getting air out of the hose for redecking
it.
The Reloader takes a couple of people out of the equation
when redecking hose. Now we don't need as many people
on the ground, and we're back on the truck a lot faster.
It's easy to operate and user friendly. We're
also rolling 3-inch, and 1-3/4 inch hose – all with
one unit."
Gary Spoor, Assistant Chief
South Bend, Washington Volunteer Fire Department
"I want to take this opportunity to personally thank
you for the generous donation of the Rookie Sidekick LDH6
and Rookie Sidekick Gas. Our students and clients have
grown accustomed to quality training, which would not
be possible without support such as yours."
Robert L. Smith, Director
Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) & Emergency
Services Training Institute (ESTI) College Station, Texas
"After watching the first length being rolled I knew
picking up LDH had just gotten a lot easier. Saving time
and greatly reducing the amount of backbreaking labor
involved with handlng LDH are two features that convinced
us to order our Rookie LDH portable hose roller."
Steve Melton, Fire Chief
Kennett Fire Company No. 1
Kennett Square, Pennsylvania
"Earlier this spring the Blue Mountain Ranger District
purchased a Rookie Sidekick hose roller. The fire crews
that use the hose roller like the ease of the maneuverability
with the 'Sidekick' and the simplicity of operating it.
Purchasing the Rookie Sidekick hose roller was money well
spent."
Robin Pugh
Fire Prevention Technician & Fire Cache Manager
"Your Rookie Sidekick is a handy machine and I am
really impressed with its versatility."
Doug Dunlap
Warm Springs Tribes, Supply Officer, Davis Lake Fire,
Oregon
"The Rookie is a requested piece of equipment on
the fire scene - saving time and energy while rolling
up various lengths and sizes of fire hose."
Karl Petty
Asst. Cache Manager, National Interagency Fire Support
Cache, Redmond, Oregon, United States Forest Service
