When fire fighters respond to a fire it is important they can quickly connect to a water supply such as a fire hydrant. Over time hydrant markers can become damaged or go missing and vegetation can impair quick access. The result can be vital time lost in fighting the fire.
Within the Upwey Fire Brigade primary response area there are more than 350 fire hydrants. As you can imagine keeping an eye on all of them is a huge task for our volunteers.
To help us keep on top of this we are calling out to members of the Upwey community to adopt a fire hydrant near their home.
All we ask is from time to time you do a quick check of the hydrant based on the acronym W.A.T.E.R.and report any damage, faults or other issues with it to South East Water or the “contact us” page on our web site.
No registration or fixed commitment required.
