What does the color of the fire hose mean

The color of the fire hose represents a warning, especially red.

Fire hoses are often painted red, due to the fact that red is widely recognized internationally as the standard color to indicate danger and fire. This color choice is intended to increase visibility and attention, alerting people to potential fire risks. Red fire mains are not only visually eye-catching, but also comply with the Fire Services Law of the People's Republic of China, which stipulates that fire service installations pipes should be painted in red to serve as a warning. In addition, the red ring markings on the fire mains are to further emphasize their importance. These rings should not be less than 20mm in width, with an interval of not more than 4m, and there should not be less than 2 rings in a separate unit. Such regulations and standards are intended to ensure that fire hoses can be quickly identified and used in an emergency, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of fire response.

Apart from color, other markings of fire hoses are also very important. For example, in addition to being painted with a color ring, indoor fire mains need to be sprayed with letters to indicate the direction of water flow. Pipes leading to buildings should preferably be marked with building numbers so that they can be quickly located and used in an emergency. Together, these regulations and standards form an important part of fire safety, ensuring that in the event of a fire, fire hoses can be quickly and accurately located and used to effectively control the fire and protect people's lives and property!
