Underground fire hydrants require regular inspection and occasional maintenance in accordance with BS 9990. Regular hydrant testing ensures that in the event of a fire, the fire brigade have all the tools available to them, in good working order, to support them in a bid to save lives.

Maintenance & testing is the responsibility of the owner/occupier on whose land they are installed. These hydrants are generally located on large sites such as hospitals, military establishments and industrial estates.

Don’t get caught out – you could be prosecuted if they have not been regularly tested & inspected in accordance with relevant standards.
