What are fire hose reels?
Fire hose reels are firefighting devices that provide a controlled supply of water for first-attack fire response. Each unit comprises a reel, a length of hose and a valve that feeds water at sufficient pressure to tackle small or developing fires.
A fire hose and reel system is typically wall-mounted and positioned to provide ready access for trained personnel during an emergency.
Fire hose reels must be installed and maintained in line with regulatory and British Standard requirements to ensure they are always ready for use.
