Fire Hose Reel Fact Page
Fire safety equipment involves a different set of tools for different situations
. For instance, we all know that fire extinguishers are meant to be used immediately when a small fire starts. In more extreme conditions such as when people are trapped in a burning building (knock on wood!) firefighters are trained to use a variety of tools and techniques to safely and systematically break into a house or building, rescue the people inside and put out the fire. But before the firefighters get to our prized establishments, we of course need to have mobility in putting out fires. This is where the ever helpful fire hose reel comes into play.First and foremost, this device is an essential building and/or business appliance in compliance to the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO) ratified in 2006 in the United Kingdom. What it does basically, is provide a readily accesible and powerful flow of water - controllable up to a third of a liter per second for fire hoses. A control nozzle is located at the end of the hose to allow a firefighter to control the direction of the water and to regulate its flow. It also comes with a shut off device, using a built in ball valve.
A good quality fire hose reel should be able to readily provide a good flow of water up to at least 12 meters with a capacity of accomodating a fire hose of up to 30 meters. The 19mm fixed manual variety is highly recommended. This makes sure that in the time of need, the device won't malfunction with the task of putting out fires at shorter distances. Also, the jet spray nozzle should be tried and tested - making sure that the regulation of the flow of water and directing it using the nozzle is fairly simple and easy enough to do.
Since it will be spending a good amount of its lifetime unused, make sure to inquire about the wear and tear of the product. A good move would be to make sure its manufacturing design made it such that it is corrosion proof. Inquire at your distributor for products made by the more reputable manufacturing companies such as the Noha for Thomas Glover & Company. Conveniently enough, a good number of these distributors offer 5 year warranty or so with their fire hose reel. Since it is a long-term investment on your safety, it would be good to make this one-time purchase count.
All commercial establishments in general, need to have this device among others for the sake of their safety, as well as in compliance with the law. Just like first aid, safety equipment against fires help defend against a current state of emergency before the professionals arrive. In any case, it would always be helpful to obtain more information from your local fire station as to how to make your establishment more safe from fires, and the right tools and knowledge needed just in case a fire starts.
