How far does water travel from a fire hose?
There are many different types of fire hoses, but the type you're probably picturing is called an "attack hose" that's the hose that takes water from the pumping system to the nozzle. It's the business end of the operation. The typical attack hose is 1530 cm long and has an inner diameter of as much as 7.6 cm. The volume of a hose is the length of the hose, times the area of its circular cross-section. With an inner diameter of 7.6 cm, an attack hose has a cross-section of πr2=3.14*3.8^2= 45.34 square cm. So, the volume of water in a full attack hose is 1530*45.34= 69370.2 cubic cm. That's about 18.32 gallons.

How do I properly plumb a washing machine drain?
To properly plumb a washing machine drain, you need to connect the drain hose to a standpipe or a laundry sink. Make sure the drain hose is secured and not kinked to prevent clogs. Additionally, ensure the standpipe is at least 18 inches high and has a P-trap to prevent sewer gas from entering your home.
Whats the longest fire hose firefighters use?
Firefighters normally use hose sections of 50 feet so that they can add sections or take away sections to make the needed length. Many larger diameter hoses are used in lengths of 100 feet and can be connected for thousands of feet, if necessary. The friction losses inside smaller hoses would make longer hose lines impractical. Many commercial buildings include "standpipes" in their construction so that a firefighter can simply carry 150 feet of hose (in a "high-rise pack") inside the building, connect it to the standpipe outlet, and use water pressure in the standpipe to fill the hose and put out the fire where the nozzle is directed.

Should firefighters get water from a standpipe from the floor below?
In my opinion, yes. For safety, you should always have a water supply established before entering into a hazard area. In this case, if you are in a building with a standpipe and you are entering into a fire, you should have a charged line with enough hose to operate on the fire floor.
