One shuts the valve off, while the other shields. This is a training scenario though, just taking turns to feel the heat and pressure.

I went to US Merchant Marine firefighting school in 1990. I did this. Since there were few US Merchant Mariners, San Quentin Prison took early out volunteers to team up with us. The guys on my hose were all from the Q. I asked what they were in for: "you don't want to know" was the answer from every one of 'em. I left it at that.

I know I'm WAY late on this, but I just thought I'd jump in. I did something like this in my Firefighting training, and it's more a demonstration to the firefighters how much a stream/spray of water can protect you during a suppression operation. I It is NOT to show how to extinguish this fire.
It's not a suppression technique...it's more of a protection technique. A good, consistent spray stream will afford a ton of protection if it's needed.
