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.

A fireman should catch the hose strongly to ensure they have proper control over it while spraying water, preventing it from slipping or getting out of their grasp, which can impact the effectiveness of fighting the fire.

The female coupling connects to the engine (nozzles have female couplings, engine apparatus usually has male connections), so the male coupling always points towards the fire. With that, if you're following a hose, say out of a building, you would want to find the male coupling and follow the hose behind the male coupling.
