How many men did it take to hold the fire hoses steady doing segregation?

During the Civil Rights Movement, particularly in events like the Birmingham Campaign in 1963, it took several men to hold the fire hoses steady while they were used against civil rights protesters. Fire hoses were powerful and required considerable strength to control, often involving multiple firefighters or police officers to manage them effectively. The hoses were used as a tactic to intimidate and disperse crowds protesting against segregation.
