Fire Ready Enterprise FRE Adjustable Hose Strap Backbone for Integrated Hose Pack Organization

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.
