How to use fire hydrant:
1. Open the fire hydrant door and press the internal fire alarm button (the button is for alarming and starting the fire pump).
2. One person picks up the gun head and hose and runs to the fire point.
3. The other person connects the hose and valve port.
4. Open the valve counterclockwise and water can be sprayed out.
5. Matters needing attention: Make sure to cut off the power supply when there is an electric fire.

The role of fire hydrants:
It is widely believed that as soon as a fire truck arrives at the fire, water can be put out immediately. In fact, a considerable part of the fire trucks equipped by the fire brigade do not carry water, such as lift fire trucks, emergency rescue vehicles, fire lighting vehicles, etc., which must be used in conjunction with fire fighting vehicles.

And some fire fighting trucks are in urgent need of finding water sources when putting out fires due to their limited water capacity. At this time, the fire hydrant will play a huge water supply function.

However, in real life, due to the weak fire safety awareness of some units and individuals, fire hydrants are damaged in various ways, either lacking "arms" or lacking "legs", and some fire hydrants located next to the main streets are encircled and buried by construction projects;

Some fire hydrants are surrounded by vehicles, stalls, etc., and cannot be connected at all. Some even have their water supply interrupted, which seriously threatens the smooth development of firefighting work. Once a fire occurs, these fire hydrants will not be able to play their due role.

Fire hydrant is an important tool to ensure fire fighting. Its insufficiency and damage pose a serious threat to the safety of people's lives and properties. Therefore, we hope that while we love other urban public facilities, we should also pay attention to the "safety" of fire hydrants!
