Using 25mm Sidereels at Structure Fires
Zippy:
yeah the resistance the hosereel's motor and turning mechicism is a drawback thats worth considering a reason for using 38mm...

What type of structure fire are we talking about???? I know of a CFS Briagde who rocked up to a house fire used two 64mm hose to do attack one in front door and one in rear door..they spent sometime pushing a potbelly stove around the lounge room using the two64mm.....

Um...? Tongue in cheek?
I hope so.
If its bigger than a car or bin alight, leave the Hosereel on the truck. (Yes, Hosereel. How many CFS trucks have High Pressure lines that can run at 2000-3000kpa?)
Zippy:
mate, i was saying...it takes much more effort to deploy a Hose Reel from a 34P than bowling a 38mm lol geeez!
if ya ever meet me numbers, im all for bowling whatever...and leaving those hosereels alone....particular for even using as "25mm outlets"...60 metres of Pressure loss....
Any lazy person gets a roll of the eyes from me...
