A fire hose is a high-pressure hose that carries water or other fire retardant to a fire to extinguish it. Outdoors, it attaches either to a fire engine or a fire hydrant. Indoors, it can permanently attach to a building's standpipe or plumbing system. Lightweight Suction Hose

What are the types of fire hose ?

1. Delivery Hose : This is connected to the discharge side of the pump.

2. Suction Hose : These are connected to the suction side of the pump.

3. Hose Reel Hose: These are made of reinforced rubber fitted with a swiveling joint bound over a reel. A squeeze nozzle is provided at one end.

When people drive over the fire hoses, it damages them and tears them up. It can also clamp the hose and make it explode from the pressure. It can even shut off the water supply. All of which puts each and every firefighter on the scene in danger.

What are the different sizes of fire hose ?

There are three standard-sized hoselines that the fire service uses as a front line attack line: 1½, 1¾ and 2½ inch. The remaining situations might involve large master streams or deck guns. The key with selecting the correct size line is quite simply getting the right amount of water on the fire.
