The Fire Hose Inflation Kit provides a front line, first response solution for water rescue where the casualty is conscious and able to help themselves during rescue. This compact, robust kit can be deployed in seconds with ordinary fire hose and used in a number of different water rescue techniques.

To use, 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 then be deployed in various ways, depending on the prevailing conditions:

hose to be sealed at both ends with 2 tail ends with the male tail end supplied in yellow for clear identification and increase visibility when in use. The system has a working pressure of 40 psi and is inflated using inflation kit supplied with the system which is fitted with a pressure regulator pre-set at 9 bar. The female tail end is fitted with an inflation valve which and PRV (Pressure Relief Valve) which is set at 40 psi.

The system is both compact and easy to use and has all the required integrated safety features to prevent the risk of over inflation in the system. The system is available with either Instantaneous couplings or Storz couplings depending upon the fire hose systems in use.
This hose inflation system has a variety of uses for water, ice and mud rescue operations.

Line retrieval- The hose can be directed from a safe land position towards a conscious casualty and can then 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.

Alternatively, a line can be attached to the coupling and thrown to the opposite bank to provide a dam to catch casualties coming down in fast flowing water. It can also be used to contain small amounts of oil floating on the water surface.

T he Mud Lance is a durable stainless steel lance to loosen the soil, sand or mud surrounding a trapped animal/person during mud rescue. Using a combination of Air, Water or both water and air, the Mud Lance will overcome the suction from the mud, allowing the animal/person to be rescued quickly and safely with minimal distress.

Use d in conjunction with Compressed Air from BA cylinders or Water from a Fire Appliance Hose reels or 9 Litre Stainless Steel Fire Extinguishers with quick release couplings fitted, depending on customer requirements .

When not in use the Mud Lance can be dismantled and packed away into the compact carry bag provided, making it easy to store and carry.

• Compact and portable, inside carry bag.
• Operates at 8 bar working pressure
• Quick and simple to use
