Fire hoses and fittings are critical for controlling large fires. A fire hose is a flexible, high-pressure hose used to deliver water or firefighting agents from a fire engine to the fire site. Fire hoses come in various diameters and lengths, with fittings that allow for easy connection to hydrants, nozzles, and pumps. They are made from durable materials such as rubber or polyurethane to withstand high-pressure water flow and harsh conditions. The hoses and fittings must comply with industry standards such as NFPA 1961 and SASO 2064 to ensure they perform reliably in emergencies. Regular inspection, maintenance, and testing are essential to ensure they remain functional and safe.
