Description
fire hose reel is a high-pressure hose that extinguishers a fire using water or other fire retardant material that it carries. It is usually attached to a fire engine or a fire hydrant when used outdoors. It can be attached to a building’s standpipe or plumbing system when used indoors.
n
nFire Hose Reels are renowned for providing unlimited water supply to extinguish fires and protect against the heat. They can extinguish a fire up to ten times greater than fire extinguishers.
