Responding quickly with the right firefighting equipment in hand can be critical during a fire emergency. For example, in Uganda, the construction and building infrastructure varies from the high-rise offices in Kampala, expansive factories in Jinja, and even down to rural town small schools.
Swift access to firefighting equipment, in these cases, has the potential to save a building or an entire factory.
A fire hose reel cabinet is a type of enclosure that contains a fire hose reel and keeps it secure.
