It depends on the flow rate in the hose and that depends on the water pressure.
The capacity of a 25 ft hose with a diameter of 3 inches is 1.23 cubic feet. That is the maximum volume of water in the hose: there need not be any!
There need not be any water at all in the hose! The capacity of the hose is 1.67 cubic feet.

To find the maximum flow you would need to know the maximum pressure. A typical fire nozzle pressure would be up to 100 psi with a diameter of 1 to 1.25 inches. The GPM would be between 300 GPM and 460 GPM through the nozzle. If it were simply a 3-inch pipe with an oversized pump, running at 100 psi with no nozzle, you could (in theory) move over 3,000 GPM through the pipe (ignoring friction loss). Even at 80 psi, a master stream through a 2-inch nozzle moves over 1,000 GPM.

A standard fire hose is 50 feet long. A hose this length with a 2-inch radius grants about 4.36 cubic feet. This volume holds 32 gallons of water.
A 2.5 inch fire hose has a capacity of approximately 60 gallons per 100 ft. Therefore, a 50 ft hose would hold around 30 gallons of water.
It depends on the flow rate in the hose and that depends on the water pressure.
None, if the tap is turned off! It depends on the pressure!

To calculate the flow rate through a hose, we first need to find the cross-sectional area of the hose. The cross-sectional area of a 5/8-inch diameter hose is (5/16)^2 * π square inches. To convert this to square feet, divide by 144. Finally, multiply this area by the flow rate in feet per second (100) to get the flow rate in cubic feet per second.
The critical velocity for a 3-inch hose depends on the fluid flowing through it. In general, critical velocity is the velocity at which the flow changes from laminar to turbulent. It can be calculated using the Reynolds number for the specific fluid and hose diameter.
