Abstract: A fire hose reel assembly comprising, a base, a front left angled bar, a front right angled bar, a rear left angled bar and a rear right angled bar. A top connecting bar connects the front left angled bar, the front right angled bar, the rear left angled bar and the rear right angled bar. A latch is directly attached to the top connecting bar. The fire hose reel assembly further includes a fire hose take-up rod. The fire hose reel assembly includes a fork assembly and a fork upper rod. The fork upper rod has a coupling attached to an upper end of the fork upper rod. The fork upper rod may be retained in the latch. The fork assembly is capable of retaining an end of a fire hose. A manual crank or a battery-operated or electric drill may be connected to the coupling in the upper end of the fork upper rod to provide power-assist to facilitate rolling-up the fire hose. The fire hose reel assembly in an embodiment may be mounted on wheels.
