Handmade Fire Hose American Flag These one-of-a-kind American flags are made from used fire hose. These award-winning flags have been placed in fire stations around the country. The flag makes great wall art or home decor, and it's a strong gift for a firefighter, dad, or husband. Made From Retired Fire Hose Fire departments across America test their fire hose every year. Hose that fails inspection usually ends up in a landfill. Here, it is recycled and handcrafted into a fire hose flag. Each roll of hose is handpicked, cut apart, and built into a flag Real double-jacketed hose that was used on a fire truck 100% American made Every roll has its own history, so no two flags are the same What Makes These Flags Different Each flag is built so no mounting screws or nails show.
