How should deck fire hoses be stowed?

Deck fire hoses should be stowed in a manner that allows for quick and easy access during emergencies. They should be coiled neatly and secured with straps or hooks to prevent tangling and ensure they remain free from obstructions. Additionally, hoses should be stored in designated and clearly marked locations, away from potential hazards, and protected from exposure to the elements to maintain their integrity. Regular inspections should be conducted to ensure the hoses are in good condition and ready for use.
