What is a "fire hydrant"?
A fire hydrant is a pipe located along streets or in public areas that provides a source of water for firefighters to use in case of a fire. It is typically made of metal and is painted in bright colors, often red or yellow, to make it easy to spot. Firefighters connect hoses to the hydrant to quickly access water, which is essential for putting out fires. Hydrants are usually placed at regular intervals in urban and suburban areas, ensuring that water is available when needed for emergencies. They are an important safety feature for fire protection.
Example
The firetruck stopped next to the fire hydrant during the emergency.
The fire hydrant was painted bright red to make it easy to spot.
