2. Fire Hose Reels : are provided for use by occupants as a first attack fire fighting measure. When showing a fire hose reel, it is importent to first attach the nozzle end to the hose reel vallve, the close the hose reel valve, then open the nozzle to relieve any pressure in the wound hose, then close the nozzle. This achieves two principle objectives. A depressurised hose & hose reel seal will last longer than if permenently pressurised. When the hose reels is next used, the operator will be forced to on the isolating valve, thus charging the hose reel with pressurised water supply, before being able to drag the hose to the fire. A potential danger exists if the operator reaches the fire and finds no water is available because the hose reel valve is still closed. because hose reel are generally located next to an exist, in an emergency it is possible to reach a safe place simply by following the hose.
