AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) thoroughly drain them after each use.
Properly maintaining fire hoses involves completely draining them after each use. This helps prevent mildew and deterioration of the hose material. Leaving hoses partially filled with water or keeping the exterior damp can lead to damage over time. Similarly, tightly rolling the hoses in the rack is important, but draining them first is the key step to prevent long-term wear and tear. Following this simple procedure after each use helps ensure the fire hoses remain in good working condition when needed.
