The core role of fire hydrant
As an important fire fighting equipment, fire hydrants provide emergency water sources for fire trucks. Some fire trucks (such as aerial platforms and rescue trucks) do not carry water themselves and rely on fire hydrants for water supply. If the fire hydrant is damaged, blocked or without water, it will greatly affect the efficiency of firefighting and threaten public safety.
Call for the protection of firefighting facilities
- It is prohibited to enclose or bury fire hydrants.
- Ensure that the area around the fire hydrants is unobstructed and
Firefighting supplies can be easily and quickly accessed.
- The public needs to raise awareness and jointly maintain these "lifelines".
Fire hydrant, fire hydrant hose and other Fire fighting tools are the key to fire rescue. Caring for them is protecting life safety!
