How do firemen dry the hoses after a fire?

Drying Fire Hoses They are wound up very tightly, draining leftover water from the hose If they are cotton-covered hoses (rather than plastic), they are then transported back to the station, unrolled, washed, and laid out or hung in the hose tower to dry. Once they are dry, they can be rolled for storage, or put back onto a fire engine for future use.

Standards set by the National Fire Protection Association require that each length of new double jacket, rubber-lined attack hose must be pressure tested to 600 psi (4,140 kPa), but most manufacturers test to 800 psi (5,520 kPa). Subsequent to delivery, the hose is tested annually to 400 psi (2,760 kPa) by the fire department. While the hose is under pressure, it is inspected for leaks and to determine that the couplings are firmly attached.

After testing the hose is drained, dried, rolled, and shipped to the customer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
