Fire Hoses. Information about fire hoses and links to fire hose manufacturers and retailers including sellers of fire hose accessories

Fire hoses are an integral part of any basic active fire fighting system. The hose delivers water, an effective and available fire extinguishing agent, directly to the fire. Modern fire hoses are made of rubber with an outer coating, usually a fire retardent synthetic. Rubber is flexible, elastic and allows a smooth water flow, making it a useful material for hoses.
