🚒Ever wondered how firefighters find hydrants so fast?
It’s not magic, it’s all thanks to some clever little clues hidden in plain sight! 👀
✅ Look down! You’ll spot markings on the road, kerb, or even on light poles, all pointing us straight to the hydrant. Here’s what they mean:
🔹 H = Hydrant
🔹 P = Pathway
🔹 R = Road
📏 The top number tells us how many metres away the hydrant is, while the bottom number is the size of the water main in millimetres.
💡 See a black line across the marker? That means the hydrant is on the opposite side of the road!
You might also notice green ‘H’ signs or a blue reflective cat’s eye on the road, these are secondary markers to help us find hydrants day or night.
👀 Your mission: Next time you’re walking or driving through your neighbourhood, see if you can spot the hydrant markers near your home! Knowing where they are can save precious seconds in an emergency.
🔥 Bonus tip: Keep the area around hydrants and markers clear, it helps us help you when every second counts.
