    A fire hydrant is a fixed fire extinguishing tool whose main function is to control combustibles, isolate and eliminate fire sources. Fire hydrants are mainly used for fire trucks to draw water from the urban water supply pipe network or outdoor fire pipe network to extinguish fires. They can also be directly connected to water hoses or water guns to extinguish fires.
  2. Fire hydrant installation location
    (1) Fire hydrants should be placed in public shared spaces, such as corridors, halls and other public spaces. They are generally placed within the walls of the above-mentioned spaces. No matter how they are decorated, they need to be clearly marked (with “fire hydrant” written on them). And no obstacles should be set up in front of it to avoid affecting the opening of the fire hydrant door.
    (2) Fire hydrants must not be placed in rooms (such as private rooms), which does not comply with fire prevention regulations and is not conducive to timely rescue by firefighters.
