		Fire hose reels are provided for use by occupants as a 'first attack' firefighting measure but may, in some instances, also be used by firefighters.

		Fire hydrants are for the sole use of trained fire fighters (which includes factory fire fighting teams).

		The water supply may be pressurized, as in the case of hydrants connected to water mains buried in the street, or unpressurized, as in the case of hydrants connected to nearby ponds or cisterns.

	Tampabay: Fire hydrant never tagged as dry
		CLEARWATER -- The fire hydrant that came up dry in last week's fatal condominium blaze was discovered broken four days earlier by city utilities workers, but they failed to tag the hydrant as inoperable.
		Clearwater Fire Chief Rowland Herald estimated that three firefighters wasted 60 to 90 seconds tapping into the dead hydrant, which was closest to the blaze on the fifth floor of an 11-story condo tower on Island Estates.
		Investigators are still working on a timeline to help determine the cause and origin of the fire, which started in the kitchen of a two-bedroom unit on the fifth floor, grew to 1,000 degrees and burst down the hallway and out the balcony, shooting four stories high.

		A fire engine can only carry a limited amount of water, so it is vitally important for firefighters to be able to hook the fire engines to the hydrants to supply them with enough water to fight the fire.

	Hydrant Systems - [ EQUIFAB - The Experienced Security Consultants ]
		Whenever anyone opens a hydrant valve, the pressure in the pipeline reduces drastically and jockey pumpset which normally keeps the total system pressurized is unable to cope with the system demand which results in further fall in pressure.
		The further fall in pressure is sensed by the designated pressure switch which automatically starts the main fire pumpset.
		Depending upon the type and sensitivity of the risk, diesel-engine powered fire pumpset should also be installed having 100% standby capacity.
