Abstract
A fire hose containing an electrical wire therein for transmitting signals. Terminals for connecting cable ways are mounted at both ends of the wire. Therefore, when one hose containing the wire is connected to another similar hose, terminals are also connected to terminals in another hose so as to make a single cable way. The use of such a hose enables a fireman holding a nozzle of the hose to control a pump located apart from the nozzle.
