In emergency situations of fire, firefighting equipment is an important tool to protect the safety of life and property. Among them, fire hose reels play an important role in complex fire scenes due to their flexibility, portability and efficiency.Fire hose reels are a type of fire-fighting hose that can be rolled up, usually consisting of a handle, a reel, a hose, a valve and a spray gun. It is mainly used in indoor fire-fighting facility systems and can be used in firefighting, protection, spraying and other fields. In complex fire scenes, fire hose reels can respond to fires quickly and provide strong support for firefighting work because of their small size, lightness, ease of carrying and operation.When a fire occurs, the first task is to quickly determine the location of the fire source. In complex environments, such as large shopping malls, high-rise buildings or industrial areas, the source of fire may be hidden in multiple corners or difficult to detect. At this time, it is necessary to rely on the rich experience and professional judgment of firefighters, combined with information such as the fire, smoke and smell at the scene, to quickly determine the location of the fire source. At the same time, modern firefighting facilities such as fire alarm systems and surveillance cameras can also provide important information support to help quickly locate the source of the fire.Once the location of the fire source is determined, it is necessary to quickly use fire hose reels to spray water to extinguish the fire. Before use, make sure that the fire hose reels are intact, the parts are tightly connected, and there is no looseness. At the same time, understand and confirm the type of fire extinguishing agent loaded in the reel so that the correct operation method can be adopted when extinguishing the fire.When using fire hose reels, you should first unlock the reel and gently pull out a hose of sufficient length to meet the fire extinguishing needs. Then, connect the hose to the water source equipment, such as fire hydrants, faucets, etc., to ensure that the connection is firm and there is no leakage. Next, slowly open the water source valve to allow the water to flow smoothly through the hose. At this time, you can conduct a short water spray test to check whether the hose and nozzle are working properly, whether there is any leakage or other problems.After arriving at the fire, you should immediately turn on the spray gun switch, hold the spray gun tightly and aim it at the root of the flame to spray and extinguish the fire. Adjust the spray angle and intensity according to the size of the fire to ensure the maximum fire extinguishing effect. During the firefighting process, stay calm, don't panic, and ensure your own safety.After the firefighting is completed, the fire water supply pipe valve should be closed, and the remaining water in the fire hose should be drained and the spray gun valve should be closed. Rewind the hose back to the reel to ensure that the hose is evenly wound to avoid crossing or piling up. Finally, lock the reel to prevent the hose from slipping out or loosening for no reason.It is worth noting that in complex fire scenes, the use of fire hose reels often needs to be used in conjunction with other firefighting equipment, such as fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, etc. At the same time, cooperation and communication between firefighters are also very important to ensure the smooth progress of firefighting.In addition, regular inspection and maintenance of fire hose reels is also the key to ensure its stable performance, safety and reliability. Including checking the connection of each component, the degree of wear of the hose, etc., to ensure that the device is in good condition.In summary, fire hose reels play an important role in complex fire scenes. By accurately locating the source of fire and efficiently spraying water to extinguish fire, fire hose reels can quickly control the fire and protect the safety of people and property. At the same time, we should also strengthen the inspection and maintenance of fire hose reels to ensure that they are always in the best condition and provide strong support for responding to fires.
