A hose line should ideally be hoisted using which setup?

Fully charged using life safety rope

Fully charged using utility rope

Dry using life safety rope

Dry using utility rope

When you hoist a hose, you want to minimize weight and keep handling predictable. A charged (water-filled) hose is heavy and can swing or strain the rope more than you want, making the lift harder and riskier. Life safety rope is reserved for rescue and fall protection, and using it for hoisting depletes a critical resource and isn’t necessary for this task. Utility rope is adequate for this non-life-safety hoisting, and keeping the hose dry further reduces weight and bulk. So, the best setup is to hoist a dry hose line using utility rope.
