1. The hose wrap is used to wrap the leak of the fire hose, and it is one of the necessary accessories on the fire truck. Consists of parts such as canvas straps and metal clamps.

2. The hose hook is a tool for hanging the fire hose. In the fire fighting, when laying the hose vertically to a high place, the hose hook hangs the hose on the ladder or other objects, which can reduce the falling force of the hose. It is also convenient for the water gunner to manipulate the water gun to shoot water to put out the fire. The hose hook is composed of a canvas belt, a metal hook and a half ring.

3. The hose guard bridge is used to protect the equipment that does not affect the normal driving of vehicles when the hose is laid across the traffic arteries. It has the characteristics of high strength, compressive durability, and easy cleaning.

4. There are many types of interfaces, including hose interfaces, pipe tooth interfaces, different diameter interfaces, special-shaped interfaces, threaded interfaces, etc. It is used for the connection of hoses and hoses, fire hydrants, fire pumps, water guns and other spraying devices. According to the structural form, it can be divided into inner buckle type, plug-in type and threaded type.

5. The purpose of the water divider is to separate two or more streams of water from one stream; the other is to use it as a switch. With the help of the water divider, the water flow can be turned on or off from the water belt line without going to the water pump. The switch can be switched at any place, thereby shortening the time required for opening and closing the water flow, and ensuring the water supply to the fire site in time. There are three kinds of water separators: two water separators, three water separators and four water separators.
