I live in a rural, mountain area served by a volunteer fire department: through no fault of theirs, if I suffered a fire, my house would burn to the ground before they arrived. With that in mind, I purchased three of these hoses (150 feet) to which I attached a high pressure, fireman's-style nozzle<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Nelson-50503-High-Pressure-Rated-Fireman-s-Style-Industrial-Spray-Nozzle-with-Large-On-Off-Lever/dp/B0015AUOSC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Nelson 50503 High-Pressure Rated Fireman's Style Industrial Spray Nozzle with Large On/Off Lever</a>. My water pressure tank operates at 40-60 PSI and, in conjunction with this hose/nozzle, puts out about 10 GPM, i.e., gives me a fighting chance.
