What Is A Fire Hydrant?

Fire hydrants are very common, and chances are that you have already seen one. Fire hydrants are large, visible equipment placed outside or inside a building and are generally used by firefighters to draw water. These equipment are owned and maintained by fire safety and rescue service companies, or water companies, or in some cases, privately owned by occupants of the area. They are reliable sources of water during a massive fire outbreak, and provide extensive coverage along with a rapid water supply.
