A simple micro hidden in the normal fashion please
BYOP.This hide is NOT at the dry hyrdant so
please do not mess with it or look around it.
Having water available in area streams, ponds and cisterns helps
a fire department only if the water is readily accessible. The
needed water may be located so far away from where it is needed
that a fire department's ability to control the fire is impaired.
Mobile water supply vehicles can move water from distant sources,
but the critical factor is whether or not the fire department can
maintain an uninterrupted supply of a predictable rate of water at
the fire scene.
Installation of dry hydrants into nearby and developed water
supplies eliminates the inefficiency and complexity of
long-distance water shuttle operations. This arrangement also
allows access to water sources from a roadway instead of having to
work on soft ground immediately adjacent to the pond or
stream.
In any area without water mains and domestic fire hydrants, the dry
hydrant concept can provide a simple, cost-effective solution to
the need for rapid access to water sources. A dry hydrant consists
of an arrangement of piping with one end in the water and the other
end extending to dry land and available for connection to a
pumper.
Dry hydrants have the following features:
•Use a non-pressurized pipe system.
•Use relatively inexpensive piping materials and other
supplies.
•Are permanently installed in existing lakes, ponds, streams
and cisterns.
•Provide a means of access whenever needed, regardless of
weather.
•Allow years of simple operation with a minimum of
maintenance.
