After inspecting hoses on a wheeled-type fire extinguisher, what should be done to prevent damage?

Coiling the hoses properly is essential for maintaining the integrity and functionality of hoses on a wheeled-type fire extinguisher. When hoses are coiled correctly, it helps prevent kinks, twists, or other forms of damage that can occur if they are left to hang loosely or stored improperly. Proper coiling also ensures that the hoses will be ready for use without obstruction, and this practice helps extend the lifespan of the hoses by avoiding stress on the material.

Additionally, storing hoses in a manner that allows them to remain straight and secure contributes to overall safety and efficiency in emergency responses. This cautious handling of the hoses is a standard practice within fire safety protocols to ensure readiness and reliability of the fire extinguishing equipment.
