Fire Hose
Noun · Slang & Abbreviations
Definitions
A stream of information, events, alerts, or demands so large and fast that it is hard to process effectively. In engineering slang, fire hoses appear in logging, support queues, telemetry, and sometimes management expectations.
In plain English: An overwhelming flood of information or incoming events.
Example: "The on-call channel turned into a fire hose during the outage, making it hard to tell which reports were new signal and which were repeated noise."
