It is an accepted fire service understanding that 5" Large Diameter Hose (LDH) will hold 1 gallon/ft. On average a 100' section of 5" empty weighs 110 lbs. With water weighing 8.33 lbs/gal. a 100' section of LDH filled with water will weigh approximately 944 lbs.

If an NFPA 704 Fire Diamond has a 2 in the yellow section it means the reactivity of the material is such that it can have violent chemical change at high temperature or pressure, it can react violently with water, or it can form explosive mixtures with water.
A fire is, in general, an evolving chemical reaction. As such, is doesn't have definite shape or well-defined boundaries. The flames are moving as if they were alive. Things are constantly changing. Because of the dynamic nature of fire, it cannot be weighed, at least not in the conventional sense of the term.

That section of hose holds 25.5 gallons of water when it's full, which weighs about 213 pounds. To that, add the weight of the empty hose, which I don't know.
109 lbs with no water
If it's full of water, then the water in it weighs about 106.5 pounds. I have no way of knowing what the empty hose weighs by itself. Whatever it is, you'll need to add that to 106.5 pounds.
That depends on the size and materials of the fire truck. Some firetrucks hold as much as 3000 gallons of water and can weigh 50,000 pounds or more.
Weight of 50ft section of 3 inch hose with water in it?
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.
Fire hose reels are much stronger than typical home-based hose reels people use to water their gardens and lawns. Typical heavy duty fire hose reels weigh anywhere from 25 to 35 pounds. In kilograms, the weight of typical reels are 11-15 kg.
Fire+Water=Steam
No, fire cannot be on water because water extinguishes fire.
You would find it in the fire and explosion hazard data section.
The bore of a gun relates to the diameter of the hole in the barrel - and in turn the diameter of the bullet the gun can fire.
yes, fire evaporates water . But water in sufficient quantity extinguishes fire.
