Hoses are our weapon against Fire, and our lifeline when attacking a fire. a Burst hose on the Fireground is no fun and very dangerous.
Since I have joined our Volunteer Dept all of our Hoses have been pressure tested to make sure they are all ok. (Something which had not been done in several years, we are now using the Test methods That NY Fire Department have on there website.) We have recently purchased a significant amount of hose, and have more than our turcks can carry. Here are my Concerns.
1) What are the Best pratcies when careing for Hoses in service as far as cleaning, Maintnence, and Time in service.
2) What is the Best way to store Unsed hosed?
