Fire Hoses

Fire hose reels are meant as a supplement to fire extinguishers. Unlike fire extinguishers, where there are specific types to be used depending on the type of fire, there’s only one kind of fire hose. All fire hoses are connected to a water-supply (called a standpipe), and are therefore only suitable for fires that started from paper, wood, textiles, rubber and most plastics (Class A). DO NOT use hose reels on electrical, oil or cooking fat fires. The benefit of fire hose reels is that they are easy to use and offer a virtually unlimited supply of water. Our technicians are qualified to test, inspect and maintain your fire hose reels in accordance with the Ontario Fire Code, National Fire Code and NFPA 1962 (Standard for the Care, Use, Inspection, Service Testing and Replacement of Fire Hose, Coupling, Nozzles, and Fire Hose Appliances).

Having your fire hose reels serviced regularly ensures that is in the best condition of fighting a potential fire. It also identifies whether the fire hose reel has been subject to misuse/abuse. Using a fire hose for any reason other than fighting fires (i.e. washing floors or vehicles) carries a significant fine as it can reduce the effectiveness of the hose in the event of an emergency.
