Pak-made Fire Hose Reel

NAFFCO Fire Hose Reel

It is an essential part of firefighting equipment. A fire hose reel is installed in the building that allows the occupants of the building to combat the fire risk. A Fire Hose Reel is a cylindrical spindle that is made from plastic, metal, or fiberglass. A hose reel brings water or foam for extinguishing the fire. A fire hose provides an immediate supply of pressurized water or other extinguishing agent that helps in combating the fire quickly. The fire hose reel is the best quick response option to combat fire in its initial stage. Users can also permanently connect it to the main water supply of the building. On the other side, a hose reel can be portable by attaching it to other firefighting devices such as fire hydrant or fire engine. 

The fire hose reel is suitable for the fire caused by the burning of paper, wood, plastic, and textile. But we cannot use fire hose on chemical and electrical fires because water is a conductor of electricity and using water can add fuel to the fire.

How to Operate a Hose Reel?

 

The hose can only be used as an initial response to the fire and minimizes the damages. But for successful results, people should know how to use a fire hose reel for extinguishing the fire. 

Here are some important points that must be followed for the successful suppression of fire:

When you note that the fire breaks out in your building, firstly you have to alert people near you about the fire with help of a fire alarm or bell. 

Then open the door of the fire hose cabinet and remove the nozzle from its bracket. Now open the control valve and roll out the hose. Proceed to a safe distance from the fire and turn the water on by operating the nozzle. Direct the water at the base of the flame and extinguish the fire by using sweeping action.  

After extinguishing the fire, the fire hose is usually hung to dry because the standing water can deteriorate the material. Most of the buildings have a hose tower for this purpose.
