🔍 Key Concepts

• Standard fire hose fittings on board (male vs. female ends) • How a hose is deployed quickly in an emergency • The need to avoid damage and cross-threading when hoses are stowed and connected

💭 Think About

• Think about which end of the hose you want already positioned so that you can reach the fire and start fighting it as fast as possible. • Consider which end is more likely to be left unconnected to avoid accidental pressurization or thread damage during normal operations. • Ask yourself: In an emergency, which connection do you want to be the only one you still need to make – at the hydrant, or at the nozzle near the fire?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which end (male or female) normally connects to the nozzle on standard marine fire hoses. • Verify how the hose should be stowed so that it can be run out in one direction with no twists before charging it. • Confirm that the stored arrangement should minimize time from “hose picked up” to “water on the fire,” while reducing strain on the hydrant connection.
