What is a Hydrant?
Hydrants Private underground fire hydrants are connected to the mains water supply and located on private property – typically large premises, hospitals and estates.
They should be easily identified by a yellow “H” sign and yellow hydrant cover with “FH” moulded into its cover.
A Fire Hydrant is typically used by the fire & rescue service to supplement the water carried within their fire appliances for fire fighting purposes.
BS 9990:2006 requires Hydrants to undergo an annual test and inspection and a 6 monthly inspection by a competent person to ensure the hydrant remains ready and in a working condition for fire services use.
The responsible person should make periodical inspections of all Hydrants on a weekly and or a monthly basis.
