Subject field(s)
  • Fire-Fighting and Rescue Equipment
DEF

Two or more lengths of hose connected and ready for use or in use.

CONT

Museum directors have traditionally been reluctant to install automatic sprinklers for fear of water damage to their collections. Yet in actual fires in museums, heavy water damage has resulted from fire department operations with hose lines. Sprinkler protection avoids this, placing a small amount of water directly on the fire and alerting the fire department at the same time.
