Fire hoses

Fire Hoses

A fire extinguisher is undoubtedly the most effective means of combating a small fire. However, when the fire area reaches significant proportions, the assistance of professionals and more extensive extinguishing agents will be required. Fire hoses are equipped in practically every cabinet of internal fire hydrants located in residential buildings and industrial structures. This device serves as a kind of flexible pipeline that ensures the rapid transport and delivery of water streams under pressure to the fire site. Synthetic fabric or tarpaulin with a special impregnation is used for manufacturing. The inside of the hose has a rubber (polymer) coating, and the outside has a metal (polymer) reinforcement (braiding).

In Ukraine, fire hoses are sold in specialized stores or online. The cost of products purchased online is significantly lower than the price of a fire hose sold in traditional retail outlets.

Types and Requirements

Products differ in purpose, diameter, and material of manufacture:

• Pressure hoses - flexible, made from multilayer synthetic or natural materials with a rubber chamber and wear-resistant outer coating;
• Suction hoses - characterized by reinforced construction, consisting of six layers (two rubber, three textile, wire spiral);
• Pressure-suction hoses - have a rigid metal frame made of steel wire, covered with a casing.

These "hoses" are used with fire hydrants, portable motor pumps, fire vehicles (ships, railway cars, aircraft). To ensure the forced intake and transportation of water from an open source (reservoir, river, lake, pond) or another source to the fire site, a pump or motor pump is used. During the operation of the hose, it is necessary to avoid sharp bends of its "barrel" and ensure the absence on the surface over which the hose is laid of sharp/flammable objects and traces of flammable-mastic materials. After use, the hose should be dried and carefully rolled up. To eliminate kinks that may occur during long-term storage, it is recommended to periodically straighten the hose and fold it.

The main requirements that a fire hose must meet include:

• Sealing;
• High strength;
• Elasticity;
• Wear resistance preventing rapid wear;
• Resistance to ultraviolet radiation, aggressive environments, decay processes;
• Operability over a wide range of temperatures;
• Low hydraulic resistance of the water flow;
• Low weight;
• Compact size when folded.
