ABSTRACT:
A fire hose (100) includes one or more conductors (107) acting as a feed line that is integrally woven into the fire hose side wall (109) and extending at least partially along a predetermined length of hose. One or more slots (113) expose the conductor (107) for transmitting and receiving radio frequency (RF) energy. The RF energy is transmitted and received bi-directionally along into the conductor (107) along the length of the fire hose. This provides stations positioned along the fire hose to have enhanced two-way radio communication without the disadvantage of signal degradation due to a firefighter's location within a building.
