Besides, fire hydrants are also facilities for commercial areas to help residents and merchants save themselves. Fire hydrants are usually placed at traffic nodes in streets and alleys. When disasters occur, residents and merchants can find fire hydrants in time, use water guns for self-rescue, rescue materials and protect their own safety.

As an important facility for fire fighting, fire hydrants are deeply involved in on-site command, fire fighting, evacuation and other work after fire accidents. These services effectively guarantee the safety of people's lives and property.
