The KrakenEXO™ Exceeds Expectations
 
Mercedes Textiles Limited, the world’s leader in fire hose technology, announced today that the KrakenEXO™ attack fire hose, known for its kink resistance and ability to flow more water than similar hoses, was the star at the Indiana County Fire School where it was put through a demanding evaluation. 
 
The Homer City Fire Department put the KrakenEXO™ through every type of worst case scenario and despite all efforts to stop the flow of water, they were unsuccessful. As part of their test, the Homer City Fire Department pulled the KrakenEXO™ and their current hose straight off the back of the truck and left it lay in a tangled mess then charged the lines at the exact same time. The KrakenEXO™ had water flowing in just a few seconds compared to their current hose that took minutes to get the water flowing through the tangled hose.
 
“The KrakenEXO™ is amazing! No matter what we did to it, from tying the hose in knots to bending it over in multiple ninety degree angles, we could not stop the flow of water in the hose.” said Matt Kelly, Captain Engine Co. 3 at the Homer City Fire Department. Kelly went on to say, “It was an eye opener to our members who thought they were using the top of the line hose until they had the chance to try the KrakenEXO™. They immediately changed their mind and realized that their current hose was an antique compared to the KrakenEXO™.”
 
Jim Stone, Public Safety Equipment Specialist from The Fire Store agrees, "The KrakenEXO™ is an excellent product. I love that it's kink resistant and it's made from the highest quality materials." The KrakenEXO™ outshines competitor products where durability coupled with lightweight, excellent low-pressure kink resistance and superior water flow are critical factors. The KrakenEXO™ ... designed for aggressive firefighting applications.
 
Jamie Emblem, North Eastern Representative with Mercedes Textiles Limited says, "Our Distributors in the East are having a lot of fun demoing this incredible fire hose that does everything." Mr. Emblem went onto say, "If a department has the chance to standardize on one hose line, the KrakenEXO™ is the answer!"
 
 
Weighs less.
Kinks less.
Flows more water.
There’s no fire hose like it.
