Such a tool is routinely carried by firefighters in their structural turnout gear as a standard piece of personal equipment. The use that gives the tool its name, however, is securing a charged hoseline, allowing a firefighter to better control and maneuver the line while flowing water. For example, if a task requires greater length than that of a single hose strap, two hose straps may be connected via girth hitch.
