Use and usage of fire hose

Usage: Fire hose is a kind of hose used to transport high-pressure water or foam and other flame retardant liquids. The traditional fire hose is lined with rubber, and the outer bread is wrapped with linen woven belt. Advanced fire hose is made of polyurethane and other polymer materials.

Usage: open the fire bolt door and take out the hose and water gun; Check whether the hoses and joints are in good condition, and do not use them if they are damaged; Laying water pipes along the fire direction to avoid distortion; Connect the hose to the hydrant near the end of the hydrant. When connecting, insert the connecting buckle into the chute accurately and tighten it clockwise. Connect the other end of the hose to the water gun (the connection procedure is the same as that of the fire hydrant).

Extended data

Attention should be paid to when using fire hose:

1. When laying, sudden twists and turns should be avoided to prevent the water pressure resistance from being reduced; Torsion should also be avoided to prevent the water pipe from rotating after water filling, so that the interface of the internal buckle pipe is disengaged.

2. After filling with water, you should avoid forcibly dragging on the ground. When the position needs to be changed, it should be raised and moved as much as possible to reduce the wear of the hose and the ground.

3. Avoid contact with corrosive chemicals, such as oil, acid and alkali.

4. In areas where there may be flame or strong radiant heat, cotton or hemp hose should be used.

5, should be cleaned after use, unlined hose to hang in the sun, dry coil stored in a cool and dry place.

6. If there are any damaged holes during use, they should be wrapped tightly with water pipes and darned or glued as soon as possible afterwards; When there is obvious damage, you should immediately withdraw from the combat readiness.

7. When vehicles need to pass through the water hose being laid, a water hose bridge should be set at the passing position in advance.

8. If you need to pass the railway when laying, you should pass under the rails.

9. Lining hoses should be used outside buildings in cold areas to avoid freezing hoses.
