AF&RS has around 20,000 fire
hydrants spread throughout the service area.
Fire
hydrants play an important role in protecting our
community. In the event of a fire they give firefighters access to
the mains water supply.
How can
you help us?
Report a defective hydrant - our hydrant
inspectors carry out testing and maintenance of hydrants and marker
plates. However, hydrants can and do break from time to time -
if you come across a defective hydrant, please let us know using
the form.
Think
before you park
It's
understandable that when you find a space to park, you
are going to use it. However we would ask that you
avoid blocking hydrants when you park.
Obstruction of
fire hydrants could place the lives of you, your family and your
neighbours at risk. If necessary, firefighters will forcibly
move any vehicle blocking access to a hydrant.
