Red Automatic Fire Hydrant System

They are used to provide a large amount of water supply in emergencies. The firefighters plug the hose or pipe into the hydrant and open the valve to deal with the fire. Fire hydrants are connection points by which water can be thrown directly onto the fire or to fill fire engines. The pressure of the water flow helps firefighters to smother out of control fires. Because of high water pressure, these hydrants are used only by trained firefighters to avoid injuries.
