Fire Hose Inflation Kit

Supplied by MFC Survival.

The Fire Hose Inflation Kit from MFC Survival provides a front line, first response solution for water rescue that is invaluable in situations where the casualty is conscious and able to assist.

This compact, robust kit can be rapidly deployed with lengths of ordinary fire hose. Simply connect the required lengths of hose together, fit the couplings from the kit to the ends of the hose system, and inflate.

The system can be deployed in a number of ways, depending on the prevailing conditions:

Line Retrieval – The hose can be directed from a safe land position towards a conscious casualty and then can be retrieved with the casualty in tow.

Boom Rescue – Used on flowing water, the inflated hose can be positioned at an angle across the flow to provide a buoyant lifeline for waterborne casualties. The angled boom allows a safe, controlled route to safety.

If required, a line can be attached to the coupling and thrown to the opposite bank to use as a dam to  catch casualties coming down in fast flowing water.

The Fire Hose Inflation Kit can also be used to contain small amounts of oil floating on the water surface.
