What are the two types of fire hydrants?

Among the types of fire hydrants, wet barrels and dry barrels are the two most common. Fire hydrants with wet barrels supply constant water, while those with dry barrels need to be opened to let in water. The system is designed to provide quick access to water in case of a fire.

In the UK, why are fire hydrants buried underground?

It is common for UK fire hydrants to be buried underground so that they cannot be damaged by vehicles or vandals. With clear markers indicating their location, they are all easily visible.

What is the difference between a hydrant and a fire hydrant?

Fire hydrants provide firefighters with access to and connections to water supplies. There may be an underground system or an above-ground pillar system. Firefighting activities require the use of hydrants. As a result, fire hydrants need to be kept free of obstructions and in good working order.
