Fire Hose vs. Mill Hose

Photo Credit: iStock studio2f Just like there are different types of fire hose nozzles and fire department connections, there are also different types of hoses. While it may seem like all hoses are the same since they can all distribute water, some hoses are designed for various purposes and are not always acceptable for fighting fires. Knowing how a hose will be used is critical in selecting the correct hose for the application. That's why it is important to understand the components of a hose and the difference between fire and mill hose.
