We tried using a regular rubber water
hose long ago for putting out fires
the 346 started using injector water
with the injector running lightly.

While the water came out just fine
the hose was much too hot for any
one to hold long enough to be
workable.

Maybe better with a canvas or thicker
hose as shown in the picture posted.
