Description of NFPA 1961 2007

Fire hoses are essential tools. Make sure they're up to the task with the 2007 NFPA 1961!

NFPA 1961 presents the minimum requirements for the design and construction of fire hose and the design verification testing done by the manufacturer of new fire hose.

This document for fire hose manufacturers and the fire service applies to:

• Attack hose used by trained firefighters and fire brigade members in regular fire fighting operations
• Occupant use hose typically provided on standpipe systems for untrained building occupants to use
• Forestry hose used in wildland fire suppression
• Supply hose (large diameter hose) used to convey water from its source to fire apparatus at a fire scene
• Suction hose used to get water into a pump when the water must be pumped from a static source such as a lake or river

Minor editorial and clarification changes in the 2007 edition include the addition of three new definitions: elongation, rise, and twist.
