A fire bucket is a container designed for storing water or other fire-fighting materials to be used in the event of a fire. Historically, fire buckets were used by people to manually extinguish small fires before modern firefighting equipment, such as hoses and extinguishers, became widely available.

1. Material: Traditional fire buckets were often made of metal (like galvanized steel) or wood, but modern versions may be made of plastic or reinforced materials. The material needs to be durable and capable of holding water or other fire-retardant substances.

2. Design: They typically have a handle for easy carrying, especially in emergency situations. They often have a wide opening to allow for quick filling and easy access to the contents. Some may feature a lid to prevent contaminants from getting inside.

3. Usage: Historically, fire buckets were used to carry water, sand, or sometimes chemicals to douse small fires. In some areas, these buckets are still used for fire safety storage in places where larger firefighting equipment is not available or appropriate.

4. Fire Safety Regulations: Fire buckets are commonly found in workplaces, industrial sites, and certain public buildings. These should be filled with water, sand, or other appropriate extinguishing agents as part of emergency preparedness. Some regulations require the placement of fire buckets in certain areas, especially in places where there is a risk of small fires starting (e.g., workshops, factories).

5. Symbolism and Historic Use: While less common in modern times, fire buckets were once a part of many fire brigades, used by communities for emergency responses in the days before modern fire services.

Today, fire buckets are more of a symbol or a secondary fire prevention tool in many places, with modern fire extinguishers being the primary means of combating fires. However, they are still found in some locations where additional fire safety measures are required. Fire buckets are typically part of a broader set of fire safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers, fire alarms, and emergency exit routes.

The Mild Steel Double Door Fire Hose Box is an essential component of a fire safety system, designed to store and protect fire hoses, nozzles, and related firefighting equipment in an easily accessible and organized manner.

These fire hose boxes are typically installed in buildings, industrial facilities, and public spaces to provide quick access to firefighting tools in the event of a fire emergency.
