Fire Hydrant Inspections can be used to perform routine fire hydrant inspections and monitor fire department hydrant inspection programs that ensure every hydrant performs reliably when an emergency occurs.
Every year, firefighters and civilians are injured or killed in structure fires. When a structure fire occurs, every second counts, and proper water supply can mean the difference between life and death. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 291 Standard guides fire and water departments through best practices for water flow testing and fire hydrant marking. Per NFPA 291, hydrants should be flushed and inspected annually, and flow tests should be completed every five years. While hydrant inspections may seem like a given today, they are often neglected for other duties, and especially time consuming if still done on paper. Forward thinking fire departments have implemented procedures that streamline hydrant inspections and simplify access to information during an incident.
The Fire Hydrant Inspections solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you inventory fire hydrants, routinely conduct inspections, monitor hydrant inspection programs, and share operating status with firefighters.
Note:
If you are a Water Utility and looking to conduct routine hydrant inspections that help you understand asset conditions, you may be interested in the Water Utility Hydrant Inspections solution instead.
