Rubber Firefighting Hose Survives Rough Scenes
Heat, sparks, rough pavement, sharp debris. Fire scenes are not gentle places, and hoses live right in the middle of them. That is why rubber firefighting hose remains a familiar sight on engines and in fire stations worldwide.
What makes rubber firefighting hose different? Its rubber cover and lining flex easily, take a beating, and handle strong water flow. Crews drag it across gravel, around corners, and over curbs, and it keeps doing its job. Firefighters often call the material dependable in the hand.
Rubber firefighting hose comes in smaller attack sizes for hand lines and larger diameters for supply lines. Lengths are usually listed in sections joined at couplings, so check section length, working pressure, and burst pressure on the manufacturer’s data sheet before ordering.
