ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for deployment of fire hose includes a receptacle for supporting coils of fire hose and for allowing selective, free rotation of the individual fire hose coils during deployment. The receptacle may take the form of a mobile wheeled cart which is adapted to retain a plurality of coils of fire hose in side-by-side relation within a trough-like receptacle. Each of the coils of fire hose is coiled in helical manner from the center thereof, causing the connectors at each extremity of the hose to be positioned in adjacent manner at the outside of the coil. The connectors or adjacent hose sections may be interconnected so as to extend the overall length of the hose being deployed. Hose from each of the coils may be deployed by applying force to either extremity of the hose or simultaneously applying force to both extremities thereof. Upon application of such force, the coil unrolls and becomes oriented in straight line manner extending from the mobile support. The cart may be towed manually by fire-fighting personnel, or may be towed by means of small personnel carts or trucks to enable the hose to be deployed in congested areas that are inaccessible by conventional fire-fighting equipment.
