FRE Adjustable Hose Strap Backbone for Integrated Hose Pack Organization and Deployment
Deploying loose hose straps on active firegrounds often results in misplaced equipment, slow pack rebuilding, and inconsistent staging across apparatus. The FRE Adjustable Hose Strap Backbone addresses these operational challenges by serving as a universal centerpiece that binds individual 2-inch hose straps into a single, cohesive hose management system. Designed to accommodate various hose loads including Denver packs, 2.5-inch hose packs, 100-foot 2-inch high-rise packs, and single 50-foot 1.75-inch handlines the Backbone system keeps all components attached upon deployment, eliminating lost gear on scene and accelerating apparatus repacking.
Engineered for maximum operational versatility, the central strap features three dedicated attachment locations along its body and integrated length adjustment buckles that expand the overall backbone from 36 inches to 60 inches. This dynamic sizing allows crews to customize loop placement and overall pack span for single-stack or double-stack handlines and supply lines. Constructed in the United States from heavy-duty polypropylene webbing, the assembly features high-visibility white reflective panels that improve equipment locator signaling in smoke-filled or low-light conditions. The reflective material double-functions as an inventory tracking surface that accepts standard permanent markers for company or apparatus identification. Fully machine washable and PFAS-free, the FRE Adjustable Hose Strap Backbone provides institutional procurement departments with a standardized, long-lasting solution for fleet-wide hose load management.

- High-Visibility Identification Panel: Built with high-visibility white reflective material to enhance gear tracking in dark environments and support permanent marker labeling for accountability.
- Rapid Fireground Repacking: Maintains exact strap spacing during deployment, allowing crews to rebuild hose loads consistently and rapidly after training or incidents.
- PFAS-Free Webbing Construction: Manufactured with durable 2-inch heavy-duty polypropylene materials built completely free of PFAS chemicals to comply with safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
What does the FRE Backbone Strap do?
The Backbone Strap keeps your hose straps connected in one organized system. Instead of managing loose individual straps after deployment, everything stays together, making hose pack rebuilding faster and more consistent.
-
Do I have to use FRE Adjustable Hose Straps with the Backbone Strap?
No. The Backbone Strap is designed to work with most standard 2" hose straps. However, it’s engineered to pair perfectly with FRE Adjustable Hose Straps for maximum flexibility and performance.
-
Why are there five attachment loops?
The five evenly spaced loops allow you to position your hose straps where they work best for your preferred hose pack. Whether your department runs a Denver load, high- rise pack, hand line, or another configuration, you can customize the setup to fit your needs.
-
Can I change my hose pack configuration later?
Absolutely. One of the biggest advantages of the Backbone Strap is its flexibility. Simply move your hose straps to different attachment points as your departments hose loads or operational preferences evolve.
-
Will the Backbone Strap work with different hose sizes?
Yes. The Backbone Strap is designed to support a variety of hose loads and configurations. When paired with adjustable hose straps, it can accommodate everything from smaller hand lines to larger supply hose packs.
-
Can I label the Backbone Strap for my apparatus or company?
Yes. The reflective Cordura® panel can be marked with a permanent marker, making it easy to identify apparatus assignments, company numbers, or specific hose packs.
-
How do I clean the Backbone Strap?
If the Backbone Strap becomes dirty after training or an incident, simply close any attached Velcro straps before machine washing on a cold, gentle cycle. Air drying is recommended to help maximize the life of the materials.
-
Why We Built It This Way?
Loose hose straps have a way of disappearing once a hose pack is deployed. We designed the Backbone Strap to keep everything connected, organized, and ready to rebuild quickly. It’s a simple solution that helps crews spend less time managing equipment and more time preparing for the next call.
