Interesting Facts About Fire Hoses

Fire hoses are specially reinforced to handle extremely high water pressure generated by pumper trucks. Modern fire nozzles allow firefighters to switch between a solid stream of water for distance and a wide fog pattern to shield themselves from intense heat.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Fire Hoses

How much water can flow through a firefighter hose each minute?
A standard fire hose line can supply anywhere from 150 to 250 gallons of water per minute. Pumper trucks pressure the water to force it through the hose over long distances.
Why are fire hoses so heavy to hold when water is running?
The high pressure inside the hose creates strong backward force called nozzle reaction. Firefighters often work in pairs to steady the nozzle and direct the stream accurately.
