very cool, I wonder which is more practical above or below fire hydrant? with the ones above they are clearly seen and only 3 steps, take off the cover, hook up the hose and turn on the water. no need for that pipe extension.
so these would never work in winter buried in snow. ours have a fiberglass pole attached to the top so they can be found when there is snow piled up on the side of the curb.
And now I want to know more alexnelson09. My original question refers to the fact that the above ground version we have here can be difficult to find at times. I am sure U.K. fire crews have a trick or two just like U.S. crews do even if it is just knowing where they are likely to be placed. It is ok to say you do not know I am sure I will find someone who knows eventually.
Martin Shepherd, Thank you. Especially for the distance information. You would be surprised how hard an informed and civil answer like yours was to get.
The water runs from the water pipes underground, these stem from houses and other buildings so there is plenty of water to go around. Once you start using double-headed standpipes, you can use two flat hoses at each end and run them out as far as you need to. Then you can hook them up to their respective fire trucks. Hydrants like these are vital to the UK fire service
There is no such thing as a Fire Truck in the UK Fire Service. The only correct term is 'Fire Appliance'. Water MAINS don't stem from houses or other buildings either, that only confirms a complet elack of understanding of what is covered on a recruit training course.@@Tom-me3vn

Найти гидрант - хорошо. А зачем гонца посылать постоянно с командами: ни раций, ни телефонов в округе нет? Можно было флажками, или фонарём сигнал подать. Хотя, Британия сильна традициями, многие из которых идут от времён Вильгельма Завоевателя
Training drills are so hilarious.. If you did this in the real world with a runner for such a short distance the public would think you're mad haha

Brilliant insight...

I was a pump driver. You don't need to do all that on the fire ground 😅😅
If RTC comes in you need get the in 2 miss ok
How do you find that kind of hydrant quickly?
Just finding the kind that are above ground can be a problem.
Do you see at 2:59 there are yellow posts with the letter H marked on them?
And if the sign is missing damaged or obscured alexnelson09?
Happy Dee you asked the question. I assumed you actually wanted to know.
And now I want to know more alexnelson09.

i wonder if this is how it's done out there ? looking to get a licence to use them hydrants.
What for ?
@@lordnemises might be to fill up a truck if hes got one second hand
@@lordnemises guys who use power washers use em
😂😂😂 no i was a pump driver. Put one arm up for water on,😂😂😂
There's no such thing. It's illegal to use a fire hydrant without the permission of the chief fire officer, where there is no fire.
Tbh in the real world you won’t walk up to someone and say water on them walk back to the engine to turn water on
If 999 calls comes in you need pick up your 111 calls same time ok
head over the stand pipe. instant fail
So how do you do this without because you need to bend over to operate the key?
looks far too small to supply enough water for multiple fire trucks.

There so small you will probably miss them
Take that Americans
They are so small. “There so small” is incorrect English.
Despite the size and them being easy to miss they're surprisingly easy to find when you're actually looking for it
No punctuation?
