The perfect solution for both, the storage and use of a firehose pack. 

The RAP-EX Hose Pack Bag was adapted to the standardized hose carrying basket in length and width. Due to this an existing carrying basket can be replaced by the RAP-EX Hose Pack Bag without any modification.

Since the bag is slimmer than a carrying basket, a mobile smoke barrier can be stored right next to it.
From now on, unsafely stored hose packs in your crew cabin are a thing of the past!

Operations

During operations, the 50 mm wide carrying strap allows firemen to carry equipment safe and comfortable until approach to hazard zone. Thanks to the massive two-way zipper, the bag gives way quickly to your hose pack. 

Hose pack can be securely fixed with "RAP-FIX Hose Pack Straps". Also available at Tee-uu.

Possible tactics for inside fire attack with the RAP-EX Hose Pack Bag inside a residential building:

• The attack team lays the hose up to entrance to the area of fire with a carrying basket, for fast and trouble-free movement. From there on a firehose pack (one 30m hose) is used for intrusion into flat and for firefighting. 
• By using only one carrying basket and not two, you can save a total weight of 11 kg and avoid interferences such as hose couplings that get caught at interiors etc.

Quickly operational:

• Open the zipper, lay out the firehose pack, connect to the water pipes, open the RAP-FIX Firehose Straps.

Advantages of use of Fire Hose Packs:

Fire Hose Pack can be expanded right in front of the area of fire – not much space needed. The emerging spiral is the perfect stand-by hose. In case of lack of space expanded spiral can also be leaned against the wall next to the area of fire in order to safe space. Never the less spiral lays on floor or is leant on wall, hose can be pulled easily.

Advantages of one 30m hose compared to two 15m hoses

The hose coupling between the shorter hoses is prone to get stuck at corners and doors when being pulled. When one 30m hose is being used, this problem does not exist. Due to the little hose diameter, one can save a total of 23 kg in hose weight, which is useful when pulling the hose. This relieves an attack team enormously to better concentrate on putting out the fire.
