Survey: Do Fire Hoses Burn?

If you or your fire department has experienced a burn-through of a fire attack hose, please contribute to the improvement of firefighter safety by filling out the brief survey below. Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) are creating the first and only publicly available, searchable data base which tracks burn-through’s across the United States.

Take the survey at www.wpi.edu/+firehoseburnthrough?&utm_source=FPE%20website&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=firehoseburnthrough.

This project is funded by The Last Call Foundation which was established in memory of fallen Boston firefighter Michael Kennedy.
