Fire Hydrant Concept-JNCASR
Fire Hydrant Protection System is designed to fight fire of huge proportions, in all classes of risks and it is an active fire protection measure. It is designed to provide rapid access to water if a fire breaks out. Fire hydrant installation consists of a system of pipe work connected directly to the water supply main to provide water to every hydrant outlet and is intended to provide water for the firemen to fight a fire. The water is discharged into the fire engine form which it is then pumped and sprayed over fire. Where the water supply is not reliable or inadequate, hydrant pumps should be provided to pressurize the fire mains. The Hydrant system was installed at the centre in the year January,2021.
The main components that constitute a fire hydrant system are:
- Fire Fighting Pumps & Accessories.
- Panels.
- Hose Box
- Hydrant points
- Hose Reel Drum.
- Priming tank
Isolation and control valve
Operation of Fire Hydrant
- The fire hydrant system installed at the centre opens when the operating valve is turned in the counter-clockwise direction.
- The hydrant valve opens downward against the flow of water. opening a hydrant too quickly can cause a sudden decrease in pressure that could create vacuum in the distribution system; back-siphonage may occur.
- Always open and close hydrants slowly.
