1. Reel-based storage
Neatly coiling the fire hose onto a dedicated reel maximizes space efficiency, prevents tangling or knotting during deployment, and enables faster operation. Such reels are typically mounted on walls or inside fire cabinets, making them well-suited for fixed indoor locations like shopping malls and office buildings.
2. Hanging storage
Suspending the fire hose from a sturdy, dedicated hook keeps it ventilated and dry, preventing moisture damage or abrasion caused by direct contact with the ground. Hanging racks are usually positioned near fire exits to ensure quick access during emergencies while allowing for easy visual inspection of the hose's condition.
3. Cabinet storage
Neatly folding the fire hose and placing it inside a dedicated fire cabinet-while ensuring the cabinet remains sealed to keep out dust and moisture-protects the hose's longevity. This method offers comprehensive protection against environmental factors, fully complies with fire safety regulations for various types of buildings, and is currently the most widely used storage method.
