I admit it. I haven’t seen anything as creative and patriotic as this for a very long time. Not even close to it.
If you’ve heard of the firemen, then you know that these are the guys whoput their own lives in line so they can save yours when the fire rages.That’s why it shouldn’t escape you that these are actually among the most patriotic people in the nation, and now these photos present you with hard evidence.
I don’t know about you, but I know the firemen are some really creative guys, so I was amused even more when the guys at Station 6 within Kingsport, Tennessee, did this with a firehose.
They used the old hose to make the most a really attractive American flag. In the video, you get to see the photos tracking the whole thing as these guys made the flag.

Station 6 is located in the Colonial Heights section of Kinsport, TN and is now home to one of the most patriotic DIY projects ever.
These firefighters and paramedics started their piece by cutting a retired firehose into 13 different sections.
They removed the outer jacket of the hose and power washed it to make sure it was clean.
They then measured out exactly where the blue section of the flag should appear.
They then painted blue onto 7 strips of the firehose.
They painted red onto 7 of the strips, keeping the remaining 6 ones the original white hose color.

They then allowed the paint to dry.
Using a wooden board as a base, they measured the strips against the wood very carefully and cut it to the right size.
They used a star-shaped stamp to apply stars to the flag.
Once the stars were dry, they attached the hose to the board using spray adhesive, couplings, and staples on the back.
All that was left to do was to touch up the paint.
And just like that, Station 6 had created a gorgeous American flag out of a retired firehose!
The entire project only cost around $50, though a lot of time and love was put into it.
This firehose flag project is currently on display at the station in Colonial Heights and is a true inspiration to the community!
