At last, I found a decent hydrant training video that does NOT have a weird looking hydrant, an arsenal of uncommon hydrant tools and fittings or is full of rookie mistakes and bad practices. Thanks guys.
Chief Riker: more training vids please! Out of the hundred videos showing how to take a hydrant, this is the only one which got all of the technical aspects right! The humor and quality of the production is a cut above as well. Awesome job!
I just randomly picked this video to explain to my 4 year old what a fire hydrant was, scrolled through until I saw water coming out and then the arm 😂😂😂 he’s never going to look at the hydrant in our yard the same again
I usually drive down the wrong side of the road and shake my fist angrily at fire fighters foolishly walking around their trucks when trying to put out a fire.
As part of the water department. My main role is to maintain and fix these hydrants so the firefighters never have to guess what hydrant works and what ones don’t
This was very educational I have an application in for the local volunteer fire department in Freedom Wisconsin, unfortunately the roster is full right now. I could use some advice though, how often should I check in with the chief? Once a week, every two weeks or monthly?
Interesting differences between ffs from other places. I'm a ff in NH, we don't have any normal hydrants in town, but we run a lot of mutual aid to towns that do, we dont have out hose direct on the hydrants, we use a hydrants assist valve. A lot of the hydrants dont have rhe pressure they used to, so the valve allowes us to pump up the pressure of the hydrant, then the main supply line goes to the fire where its split off by some gated wys. Also, when stretching our 4 inch off the top, we pull some off, double it up, then have a ff kneel on it to keep it in place
im 16 and i want to be a FireFighter, and im just here to ask what it takes and what i need to learn, i just want to save lives :). Any thanks for your time.
well here in Michigan, it takes about a year of training and schooling to become an active firefighter and to respond on calls. i started off as (and still currently) a paid on call firefighter at my local department. if your looking to become a fire fighter i would say stop by a few of your local departments and ask what it takes. during training and schooling you will learn about he human body, medical emergencies, fighting fires, saving lives and so much more. As you progress into training you'll definitely understand that there is way more into becoming a firefighter then you expected, but along the way you will understand why and why its the best job to have in the world. good luck on your journey!
Eko Mokiki depend on NY I Vol. I'm the same age. I say go to your local FD and talk to them about requirements and all that.. You'll become a part of my big FD Family too 😄😄😂😂
When flowing a hydrant it is very important to turn it off slowly to fast can cause water hammer and burst the main where I work the FD inspects and flows the hydrants to clean the lead pipe from the main ever year.
@@THATHATSALLFOLKS In relatively modern hydrants there is commonly a 1/4" +/-threaded drain hole/plug located just above the valve resilient seal. As the hydrant is being opened the valve seal rises slowly passed the drain hole briefly allowing a short "puff" of pressurized water to escape through the drain hole thus clearing the hole of debris, the hole is once again sealed as the valve continues to rise open to the full flow position, the drain hole "clearing" cycle once again is activated just before the valve is returned to the fully seated closed position. In new construction the hydrant is usually delivered to the site with the drain plug screwed in place to be removed before the hydrant is back-filled. The fire marshal/inspector should check that the plug has been removed and the hydrant base and drain rock is wrapped in filter fabric prior to backfill and compaction. Failure to properly install the hydrant and clearing the drain hole may lead to icing/freeze failure and unexpected dangerous retained pressure issues.
Good video, but keep in mind not all hydrants are "righty tighty - lefty loosey" some of them are just the opposite of that, so look at the arrow on top.
Im a german Fire Fighter. While supporting the basic training we once had a guy not opning the valve of thr hydrant not fully. The hydrant had almost 5 Bar pressure weich should be easy capable of suplying a b sitzend model (About 400 Liters per minute). oh boy where we wondering when we would only reach 2 Bar pressure (normal would be 8) out of the Pumpe maintainig an adequet intakte pressure to the pump
Fire hydrant(www.winnerfirehose.com/fire-hydrant_c6) is a connecting piece with valve installed on the fire control piping network in the buildings to supply water to fire scene. It is a kind of indoor fixed fire control unit equipped in the plants, warehouses, high-rise buildings and public buildings, as well as vessels, etc. , to fight fire in the buildings. It is normally installed inside the fire hydrant case to be used with fire control water band and water gun.

Lol, first fireman training video iv ever seen that made me laugh. Keep up the great vids.
Love that advice:" starts at 9, ends at 3".

This is a fine example of firefighter humor
Fireman have a great sense of humor

Anyone else get a little freaked out when that prosthetic arm came out when he was flushing the hydrant??
Justin Finn Yea! It was a doll arm.
Justin Finn xd
Justin Finn Jersey!
The water workers wanted to give the fire fighters a hand.
Zombies!!!
5:10 arm comes out of hydrant haha
1:10 always remember to look left and right before exiting the fire truck
Youd usually be getting out on a road, say in a car accident
5:16, beware of limbs stuck inside hydrants!!
@5:10 Holy crap I need new pants!
As part of the water department. My main role is to maintain and fix these hydrants so the firefighters never have to guess what hydrant works and what ones don’t
5:10 - that's handy
omg that hand tho... scared the crap out of me Lmao
Good training tool...especially like the arm that came floating out of the hydrant. Added some humor to a dry...kinda...subject.
Great video - well done. Is there an SOP for clearing the hydrant of other three limbs, torso and head?
Thank You im very happy you enjoyed this! - Deputy

@@billyburn2759 wtf?
43 people left their arm in a fire hydrant
If I was a fire fighter I would want to work for this station lol they know how to have fun
My daughter loves watching this from 4:55 to 5:15
Great training tool... I laughed at the "asshole" part, and the human arm... Hahaha.
5:10 bout startled me. I was like "ETF IS THAT?!"
This is GREAT! And I am only as far as the "asshole" comment! Funny as hell.
super kool video thanks.. btw the arm was super funny lol
Do you connect the hose directly to the hydrant or is there some nozzle you have to put on there first before it'll fit on?
+Shaine MacDonald Sometimes one connects a fitting which allows the hose fitting to attach to the hydrant.
GREAT TRAINING VIDEO!!!!
Thank You MMA10mm and yes more videos are on the way .... double ladder rescue is next coming this spring - plus much more - Thank You, Chief Riker
hahaha, the arm was the best part

yep, 33 people apparently like the idea of a house burning down
I'm in a Fure Science program in my high school and I had to be the Plug person. it was awesome ^_^

@7:50 What's the name of this soundtrack ?

so did you do it
So，u have other rescue training videos to share with?TKS ...
i am a firefighter explorer and i think this video is very informant for me and i also guess that the firefighter needed an extra hand hahaha
My dept uses rubber mallets to loosen and tighten a ldh from a hydrant.
Great video 👍thx
@Dthorn912 that's the other use for the hydrant wrench
Thank You! - Chief Riker NFD
DAMN GREAT VIDEOOOO :O thx guys
Great video was interesting
what happens if an arm does come out of a hydrant
Excellente pro
what's the name of the song ?
When flowing a hydrant it is very important to turn it off slowly to fast can cause water hammer and burst the main where I work the FD inspects and flows the hydrants to clean the lead pipe from the main ever year.
I like firefighters so much
Whats the theme song name?
7:05 How does the hydrant drain? Does it have a drain plug?
HOLE ON THE BOTTOM..IT SEALS WHEN FULLY OPENED..OPEN WHEN CLOSED OR IN BETWEEN....THAT IS WHY IT SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT HALFWAY...

You shouldent tighten the side spuds or steamer cap after use because the caps can become stuck or frozen. You should only hand tighten.
Very informative
it seems like it would be easy for someone to vandalize a hydrant and flow water into the streets
Good video, but keep in mind not all hydrants are "righty tighty - lefty loosey" some of them are just the opposite of that, so look at the arrow on top.

You should look for the arrow on the top of the Hydrant To see which way it opens......🚒
Nice
tnx and add more chapter
LOL the arm XD
x2!!!
How the hell would anyone be able to put a bottle in there? Do people just go around with a huge wrench taking these apart ?
Yes. People are dicks unfortunately. Guys in my dept say they've found soda cans & plastic bags in there
