WATER DELIVERY COMPONENTS AND ACCESSORIES<br />

Hose Dispensers and Storage<br />

f. Travis hose pack<br />

There is also an additional variation to the<br />

Cleveland <strong>National</strong> Forest-modified<br />

Gansner hose pack. This variation requires<br />

that the hose be prepacked in two separate<br />

configurations. One hose pack contains<br />

two 100-foot lengths of 12-inch hose, with<br />

a hose line tee fitting connecting them,<br />

which allows for the addition of a lateral<br />

hose when and if it is needed. The second<br />

hose pack contains three 100-foot lengths<br />

of 1-inch hose, each packed independently<br />

so they can be deployed as lateral hoses at<br />

existing hose line tee fitting locations as<br />

needed.<br />
