How does a fire hose stop a fire?
A fire hose is used to stop a fire by its ability to transfer water. The hose will deliver water from a source through a nozzle and onto the flames. We typically find a hose connected to a pump, which provides water under pressure. The hose will deliver that pressurized water to the nozzle, and a firefighter can direct the stream as needed.

How do you use fire hose?
A fire hose is used to transfer water. It is generally connected to a pump (which is connected to a water source), and has a nozzle on the other end. When the valve to which the hose is connected is opened (with the pump running), water will flow down the length of the hose to the nozzle. The firefighter will direct the nozzle where he wishes the water to go, and will open the gate on the nozzle. As water sprays onto the fire, the firefighter will actively direct the stream or spray to most effectively extinguish the blaze. We also see fire hose used to connect two or more pieces of equipment. If a large fire requires a truck to apply water, the truck will set up close to the fire, and fire hose will be laid to an engine. This allows the engine , which is connected to a water source, to pump that water to the truck.
Why does a fire house have a handle on each side of the nozzle?
When Firefighters pump water through the hose, the water exits at a very fast rate. There is so much energy and water that it becomes hard to grip a hose without handles.

What is in a fire hose?
We commonly find water in fire hoses. The fire hose with its nozzle is used as a way to get water onto a fire. By connecting the hose to a pump, which is in turn connected to a water source, that hose will provide a high-pressure conduit for the transfer of the water.We also find fire hoses connected between different units to deliver water. If a truck sets up on the fire ground to deliver water, it is usually connected to a water source via an engine, which is connected to a hydrant. Hoses connect the hydrant to the engine, and the engine to the truck to transfer water.
What type of system does a hose nozzle fall into?
