Each fire engine in the Division of Fire carries approximately 2000 feet of various sizes of fire hose, numerous nozzles and appliances for the distribution and application of water to extinguish fires. These items, like most tools that are used by the fire service, are required to be used in very demanding conditions and must be ready for service at all times. The Division of Fire’s in-house Hose and Nozzle Shop is responsible for maintaining, servicing, and repairing all fire hose, nozzles, and related water appliances for all of the Division’s companies. In total, the Hose and Nozzle Shop is responsible for keeping more than 20 miles of hose and nearly 250 nozzles and related water appliances in operating condition.
