Fire hose life extension method

Firefighters often notice during their firefighting operations and training exercises that the first part of the hose to break is usually the folding line. This typically happens because the contact area at the fold is small, leading to increased wear and tear over time. It's frustrating when a single break in the hose causes water to spray everywhere, making the entire line unusable. However, there's a simple way to significantly extend the lifespan of the hose. The key is to regularly change the position where the hose is folded. Here’s how you can do it effectively: 1. Start by stretching out the new hose and laying it straight. Then, run water through it to make the hose slightly rigid, which makes it easier to fold properly without damaging the material. 2. In each section of the hose, have two people work together—one person folds the hose manually from one end, while the other follows along the newly created fold line. This ensures even distribution of stress and prevents repeated wear in the same spot. 3. Once the hose is rolled up and allowed to dry, the new fold line becomes more permanent. By rotating the folding points regularly, you can dramatically increase the durability and longevity of any type of fire hose. This method not only saves money on replacements but also ensures that your equipment remains reliable and functional for longer periods. With a little care and attention, firefighters can avoid unnecessary downtime and keep their gear in top condition.
