06 April 2020, Saxony-Anhalt, Arneburg: Dirty fire hoses are drawn into the hose washing system at the fire brigade technical centre (FTZ) of the district of Stendal. New hoses are stored in the FTZ and old hoses are checked and washed. In the afternoon the converted hose washing facility of the FTZ was put into operation. The hose washing is basically the washing machine for fire hoses. The FTZ cleans and tests about 10.000 of these fire hoses per year. In the district of Stendal up to 16,000 hoses are in use by the fire brigades. Each hose has to be washed after each deployment. Photo: Klaus
