A container for storing, transporting and unloading fire hose in situations where there is a need to lay multiple lengths of hose. Such is often the case with a forest fire. The container has top bottom, front, back, and side panels which can be closed and which, when the front panel is fully opened, form a trough into which the fire hose can be accordion folded. The front panel has two overlapping doors which can be opened, while the rest of front panel, comprising two outer doors, remains shut. This creates a vertical slot through which the fire hose can be unloaded. *Velcro fasteners provide a reusable closure means for the front panel. The long edges of the outer doors abutting the center doors have a batten making rigid such edges. The top, bottom, side, front and back panels have a foam insert to prevent deformity and, in the case of the back panel, to cushion the carrier's back. The container is carried on one's back by means of two adjustable, quick release, contoured and cushioned shoulder straps that attach to the top and back panels. Fire hose can be conveniently loaded directly into the container and unloaded with minimal pull out resistance. The container is comfortable to carry and does not bounce or sway.
