Wet Fire Hydrant

Wet fire hydrants are an essential part of ensuring the safety of our communities. These hydrants are designed to provide a reliable water supply for firefighting in the event of an emergency. The term "wet" refers to a hydrant that is connected to a water supply and ready for immediate use.

Having a sufficient supply of water available for firefighters is critical in ensuring that they can quickly and efficiently respond to fires. Wet fire hydrants provide that crucial supply, which is delivered through the hydrant's underground pipes from the nearest water source. Without these hydrants, those responding to a fire may not have enough water to put out the flames, leading to catastrophic consequences.
