How does a fire hose stop a fire?
A fire hose is used to stop a fire by its ability to transfer water. The hose will deliver water from a source through a nozzle and onto the flames. We typically find a hose connected to a pump, which provides water under pressure. The hose will deliver that pressurized water to the nozzle, and a firefighter can direct the stream as needed.

How far does water travel from a fire hose?
There are many different types of fire hoses, but the type you're probably picturing is called an "attack hose" that's the hose that takes water from the pumping system to the nozzle. It's the business end of the operation. The typical attack hose is 1530 cm long and has an inner diameter of as much as 7.6 cm. The volume of a hose is the length of the hose, times the area of its circular cross-section. With an inner diameter of 7.6 cm, an attack hose has a cross-section of πr2=3.14*3.8^2= 45.34 square cm. So, the volume of water in a full attack hose is 1530*45.34= 69370.2 cubic cm. That's about 18.32 gallons.
