North Carolina Fireground Operations 8 Practice Test

A device that is placed over a leaking section of hose to stop a leak is known as a

Patch kit Hose jacket Guard sleeve Hose clamp

Correct Answer:

Hose jacket

Explanation:

A hose jacket is a sleeve that slides over a leaking section and is tightened into place to seal the defect. It provides a quick, field-ready solution that can stop or greatly reduce the leak without disconnecting the hose, allowing water to continue flowing or to be controlled while a permanent repair is prepared. Patch kits are more suited to small punctures and may not hold under high pressure or larger leaks; a guard sleeve isn’t a standard leak-stop device, and a hose clamp can help only for small leaks or temporary stabilization, often unable to seal a ruptured hose effectively.
