The reason you use color coded hoses is to make them easier to tell apart. For instance; When a firefighter pulls a pre-connected hose off the engine and runs towards the fire, the pump operator is setting up the pump and may or may not notice where each hose is going so by color coding the hoses he is more aware of which hose is where on the scene. That way he is more likely to charge or discharge the right hose at the right time. Planning BEFORE the fire is very important.

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.
