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.

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.

What is non-penetrating nozzle?
A non-penetrating nozzle is a type of firefighting nozzle that does not physically puncture through surfaces or walls. Instead, it directs water or firefighting agent onto the fire through openings or ports on the nozzle head, allowing for effective fire suppression while minimizing damage to the structure.

How does a Siamese fire connection work?
It works by combining two hoses into one hose. The Siamese is composed of two female couplings flowing into one male coupling. Some have clapper valves that are built internally at the female couplings to prevent backflow of the water.

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 is the function of nozzle for fire extinguisher?
The function of a rocket nozzle is to allow the thrust to be focuses and amplified. It also prolongs the burn time and greatly increases performance.
What is a fire hose used for?
