Being one of the oldest but yet the most effective and common fire fighting solution, a well designed and a well laid out hydrant system forms the backbone of the entire fire fighting system. It comprises of heavy duty above & underground piping with accessories. External and fire escape hydrant valves are provided at every strategic location. A fire hydrant is a pipe that allows water to flow from a water main with the control of a valve in order to put out a fire.Fire hydrant protection system is designed to fight fire of huge proportions, in all classes of risks. It is designed to be in operation even if a part of the affected structure collapses.Dry barrel and wet barrel are the two kinds of fire hydrants. The wet barrel fire hydrant holds a constant water supply, while the dry barrel fire hydrant needs to have a valve release to let water in. It is designed to provide rapid access to water in the event that a fire breaks out. Fire brigade connections are installed as standalone systems which act like building-specific fire hydrants, providing fire protection which will be readily available to fire fighters. Guidelines and approval for hydrant system are available from various national and international organizations like: nbc, nfpa, tac, is, fm and local fire authorities.Components of the system: o fire fighting pumps & accessorieso pipingo panelso landing valveso hoseso couplingso hose reelo branch pipes & nozzleso fire brigade connectionso wiring & instrumentationso maintenance valves
