One thing is for sure, not all fire hose is created equal. A lot of hose is manufactured in China as a result of rich corporate types who don't want to pay Americans a living wage for them to produce a quality product.

I think this may be a tough situation, but there are so many variables at work in that fire that attributing the death of two Brother's to the poor thermal protection of their line is going to hard to show. While we have hoses fail, it's by far not a common occurrence that we plan for.

Has there ever been published findings from this fire ,soon to be two years ago. Most were sickened by the radio tapes and some are still wondering what was the outcome of the probe
