You have probably already read about us mentioning Fire Hydrants at some point or the other.  Or maybe you haven’t. Maybe you have switched off because the only Fire Hydrants you can remember are the ones that you are made to do in that fitness class you have just joined in a bid to get summer ready!

In the UK, because Fire Hydrants are built underground, with only the yellow ‘H’ for us to look at, it really doesn’t leave much to be desired. In the US, however, they are built above ground, which gives the creative half of the population the opportunity to express themselves with art.

Here’s a little random fire hydrant fact for you…

This single fire hydrant survived a massive earthquake in San Francisco in 1906 and aided the fire fighters in saving the Mission district. In memory of the event, the hydrant was painted completely gold.

To comply with UK regulations, fire hydrants should be checked and regularly maintained. Total Safe offers fire hydrant testing throughout Essex. Get in touch with us to arrange a free consultation.
