First Aid Hose Reel
A fire hose reel is a fire fighting equipment used to extinguish fires using pressured water. The frame is a cylindrical shaped spindle that is used to roll or unroll a 30m PVC hose and nozzle. Fire hose reels are generally permanently fixed to a wall in a specific location; however, occasionally they are portable and attached to a truck, trailer or cart.
It expels pressured water to extinguish Class A fires. Fire Hose reels are an effective and easy to use the medium of fighting fire risk (non-electrical fires ONLY).
Description
WHO AND WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE ONE?
Installation should be wherever the law requires one, such as commercial, industrial, and public buildings (e.g. restaurants, hotels, businesses, apartment blocks), as they can be used by the occupants as a first response to a small developing fire, if it is safe to do so.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
It works by using the cooling effect of water, to reduce the heat from combustion to below its ignition temperature.
