The Ultimate Solution for High-Rise and Wildland Hose Transport The Evac Systems Fire Hose Backpack (Model EP201) is engineered to solve the logistical nightmare of moving heavy hose lines over long distances or up vertical ascents. Whether you are climbing a standpipe stairwell or hiking into a brush fire, this backpack allows a single firefighter to comfortably carry 100 to 150 feet of hose (2" or 1.75") while keeping their hands free for tools or railings.

Key Features

  • Massive Capacity: Designed to hold two to three 50-foot lengths of 2-inch or 1.75-inch hose, plus essential appliances like gated wyes, nozzles, and spanners, creating a self-contained attack package.
  • 4-Way Carry System: Versatility is key. Carry it as a backpack for long hikes, sling it cross-body for quick moves, grab the tote handle for vehicle transfers, or use the steel D-rings to hoist it up a building facade or elevator shaft.
  • Flame-Resistant Durability: Constructed from heavy-duty 1,000 Denier Cordura® Nylon, this pack is built to survive the heat, abrasion, and debris of the fireground, protecting your hose from tears and burns during transport.
  • Rapid Deployment: The wide-mouth design ensures that hose can be flaked out instantly. It keeps the hose clean and dry until the moment it's needed, preventing kinks and tangles in the hose bed.

Why It Matters Shouldering a hose bundle is exhausting and unstable. The Evac Hose Backpack stabilizes the load on your back, reducing fatigue and injury risk. It transforms a loose bundle of hose into a tactical asset that can be hauled, hoisted, or hiked anywhere the fire is.

How to Use

  1. Pack: Accordion-fold or double-donut roll your hose sections into the main compartment.
  2. Accessorize: Place nozzles and wyes in the top or alongside the hose.
  3. Carry: Strap on the backpack for the climb/hike.
  4. Deploy: Set the bag down, grab the coupling, and walk; the hose pays out smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the EVAC Systems Fire Hose Backpack use 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon instead of standard backpack materials?

The EVAC Systems Fire Hose Backpack is constructed from 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon specifically for its exceptional flame-resistant and abrasion-resistant properties. Unlike standard backpack materials, this heavy-duty fabric withstands the extreme heat, sharp edges, and harsh conditions firefighters encounter during emergency operations. The material ensures your hoses stay protected from damage while maintaining structural integrity even when carrying two to three 50-ft. two-inch hoses plus accessories like gated-Ys, spanners, and nozzles. This USA-made construction meets the demanding standards required for professional firefighting equipment.

Can the EVAC Systems Fire Hose Backpack accommodate both 1.75-inch and 2-inch diameter hoses?

Yes, the EVAC Systems Fire Hose Backpack is designed with ample capacity (19" x 15" x 24") to handle two to three 50-ft. two-inch hoses, which means it can easily accommodate smaller 1.75-inch diameter hoses as well. The spacious interior provides flexibility for different hose configurations while still leaving room for essential firefighting accessories like gated-Ys, spanners, and nozzles. The adjustable strap system ensures secure transport regardless of your specific hose setup, making it versatile for various department equipment standards.

How does the EVAC Systems backpack's four-way carry system improve rapid deployment compared to traditional hose bags?

The EVAC Systems Fire Hose Backpack features four distinct carrying methods—backpack mode, tote handle, steel D-ring hoisting, and cross-body strap—giving firefighters tactical flexibility that traditional hose bags can't match. In confined spaces or during ladder operations, you can hoist it via the steel D-rings. For long approaches, use the adjustable backpack straps to distribute weight evenly. The quick-access design allows you to transition between carry modes and deploy hoses in seconds, critical when every moment counts in emergency situations. This versatility keeps your hands free and your equipment instantly accessible.

Will the EVAC Systems Fire Hose Backpack fit in standard fire apparatus compartments and wildland rigs?

At 19" x 15" x 24", the EVAC Systems Fire Hose Backpack is specifically dimensioned to fit in most standard fire apparatus compartments, wildland rig storage areas, and vehicle cargo spaces. The compact yet spacious design makes it ideal for firefighters who prefer to manage their own hose and keep it clean, dry, and ready between calls. Whether you're storing it in an engine company, brush truck, or personal vehicle, the backpack's manageable footprint ensures it won't take up excessive space while still holding two to three 50-ft. hoses plus your essential tools.

What makes the EVAC Systems Fire Hose Backpack better for SAR operations than standard equipment bags?

The EVAC Systems Fire Hose Backpack excels in Search and Rescue (SAR) operations because it combines flame-resistant 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon construction with multiple carry options and rapid-deployment design. Unlike standard equipment bags, this backpack keeps your hoses organized, protected from the elements, and immediately accessible during technical rescues or wildland operations. The adjustable strap system ensures comfort during extended SAR missions, while the steel D-rings allow for hoisting in vertical rescue scenarios. Its ability to carry hoses plus gated-Ys, spanners, and nozzles means you have a complete water supply system in one organized package.
