About the Product
Built for the
Real World
After every call, firefighters face the same grueling task: manually rolling heavy, soaked hose back onto the apparatus. It's slow, physically demanding, and keeps your crew on scene longer than necessary.
Reelix eliminates that problem. The tool mounts directly to your apparatus using your existing apparatus rail and lets a single firefighter roll a full length of attack hose in a fraction of the time — without straining their back or needing a partner to hold the hose.
There's a health dimension most people don't talk about. After a structure fire, hose is saturated with soot and carcinogenic residue. Every minute of manual rolling is a minute of direct skin contact with those toxins. Firefighters already face a 30% higher cancer risk than the general population — and unnecessary exposure during cleanup only adds to that burden. Reelix dramatically cuts down the hands-on time your crew spends with contaminated hose.
Invented by Blake Loring during his time as an active firefighter, Reelix is the product that the fire service has needed for decades. It's not a workaround — it's a real solution, field-tested on real calls.

More Than a Time-Saver.
A Health Decision.
After every fire call, contaminated hose carries soot, smoke particulate, and toxic residue absorbed from the fireground. The manual rollup process keeps firefighters in prolonged, direct contact with those carcinogens — skin to hose, call after call.
Firefighters are already 30% more likely to develop cancer than the general population, and cancer has surpassed trauma as the leading cause of line-of-duty firefighter deaths. Every unnecessary point of exposure matters.
Reelix was designed to fix the cleanup process — and in doing so, it reduces one of the most overlooked sources of carcinogen contact in the fire service. Faster cleanup isn't just about efficiency. It's about protecting the health of every firefighter who uses it.
