Answer 2

Fire hose is used for moving water from one place to another, often using pumps. For example, a fire engine may arrive at a fire with 1,000 gallons of water in its tank but it won't put out the fire unless the water is moved from the tank to the fire. When the fire is too far away from the engine for the nozzle on the engine to reach it, or the fire is inside a building, the firefighters unload some hose and the engineer pumps water from the tank, through the hose and through a nozzle that the firefighter directs at the fire.

Other types of hose are used to connect a fire engine to a fire hydrant for a bigger supply of water. They are called "suction" hoses or "soft suction" because the pump in the engine sucks the water from the hydrant and forces it into the high-pressure hoses used by the firefighters.
