Fire Hydrant's

Fire hydrants are installed as a means for the fire brigade to connect their hoses to provide a water supply that the fire tender can then use to extinguish a fire.

What is a fire hydrant?

A fire hydrant is a water supply point for firefighting purposes. It is a connection to a water source, typically a municipal water supply, and is used by firefighters to access water quickly in the event of a fire.

How do fire hydrants work?

Fire hydrants are connected to underground water mains. Firefighters can access water by opening the hydrant’s valve using a special wrench. Water then flows from the underground pipes through the hydrant and into hoses for firefighting.

What is the colour coding on fire hydrants?

The colour coding on fire hydrants can vary by location, but common colours include yellow, red, blue, green, or white. These colours often indicate the flow rate or other information about the hydrant’s capabilities.
