FIRE HYDRANT SYSTEM
FIRE HYDRANT SYSTEM
A fire hydrant system is an active fire protection network of pipes, water sources, and valves designed to provide a reliable, high-pressure water supply to fight fires. Key components include underground piping, water storage tanks, fire pumps, and hydrant outlets (internal/external). They are essential for industrial and commercial safety.
- It is used mainly in high rise buildings – commercial & residential, industries, chemical plants & oil refineries where fire cannot be fought externally.
- Water is the best and most basic way of combating fire.
- The Wet Riser system involves taking pressurized water through the entire building and having outlet like First Aid Hose Reel and Hydrant valve on each floor.
