WHAT is a Hydrant Truck?

There at a ton of different types of vehicles and specialty vehicles used in emergency services. HND has been traveling the country looking at many of those unique vehicles but here is one that we have not seen, a HYDRANT truck. Leland Township Fire Rescue has been using this truck for years. They designed it for the area in which they live. There is no municipal water source so they have to use what they can find that is provided by nature or other man-made sources. Incomes the hydrant truck used to draft and supply tankers and engines for sources such as streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, and even swimming pools. HND not only was able to learn what this truck was but we got to put it to use. Check out this video and learn with us as Brandon, Zorran, and James teach me how and why this truck exists.

CSI emergency vehicles, same place that built our tankers. It was the truck cost, about 25k, plus about $30,000 for the pump, and about 30k for labor and building, so in 2002, the truck was about 85k total. So in todays world, you could probably build one for around 150k and you would probably need an F450 or larger, this f450 is about maxed out, so if we wanted a bigger pump we’d need a f550.

Reading the comments I think many people missed the part where they said the town doesn’t have a municipal water system. In this case a hydrant truck makes too much since. It’s cheaper and faster to establish a water supply and you are not having to dedicate a pumper at every fire scene to draft. I like the thinking behind this truck. Very similar in using retired fire trucks as blocker vehicles for highway response so the brand new million+ rig is not destroyed.

San Francisco was saved by the Fire Boat Phoenix during the Loma Prieta Earth quake. The quake destroyed all the water mains in the marina district and the fire boat pumped water from the bay into a portable hydrant system that fed engines and other equipment all night long.

The US Navy does. Standard for us was 120-140 PSI on the firemain, with one (or possibly 2) 3500 GPM firepumps online. Standard hose size was 3", so obviously one man wasn't going to grab a hose and go...there would be an entire team assigned to a hose. When you are in the middle of the ocean, you either put out the fire or hit the lifeboats...There are no other options. There is a decided advantage to floating in an entire ocean of firefighting water. Unique to shipboard firefighting is the requirement that you ALSO have to pump the water back overboard. Sounds basic, but when you have the ability to pump about 12,500 GPM with all pumps online (3X3500 GPM electric, 1X2000 GPM steam), it's actually not that hard to end up with a major flooding issue as well.

They also trained us on how to tackle a 3" live hose that got away from the hose team. Not something that I would want to do in real life.

I was an Interior Communications Electrician...call it a cross between the phone repairman, a low-voltage electrician, and an electronics repair tech. In port I stood the DC Central watch...Firemain monitoring, alarm monitoring, etc. If there was fire or flooding, I would have had overall coordination of the response. If the engineering roving patrol reported anything unusual, I was expected to know what to do or who to call to resolve it. Nothing really unique about that particular watch...half of Engineering could have taken it, and most of those were officially qualified to do so. The general expectation was that anybody in Engineering could look at a given piece of major equipment and know what it was, why it needed to be there, and and how it worked at a basic level. EVERYBODY in Engineering knew how to start the TAS, and that the dry stuff goes on before the foamy stuff... If that failed there was the "oh shit" button, which gave you 3 minutes to run really fast before the boiler room and/or engine room had enough Halon dumped to displace most of the air in the space.

Over here in the European Alps, it is almost standard equipment for fire departments to have man-portable pumps and drafting equipment on board a smaller truck, pickup or trailer. Very useful for when you have rivers, creeks and lakes all over the place and insufficient hydrant coverage outside towns. Setting up the pump and drafting water is the core discipline of our junior firefighter training, so by the time they join active duty, they know it well. They can also be used to relay water over long distances up mountain roads by having them in a chain line.

Something similar also exists in Germany and is called the Hytrans Fire System (HFS). The system consists of a pump module, a basic container with a hose tank and equipment compartments, and a hose mounting device. The pump module consists of a hydraulic unit driven by a diesel engine, which drives the floating pump via appropriate hoses. The flow rate in bilge mode is about 8,000 l/min at 2.5 bar and in pressure mode about 3,000 l/min at 10 bar. This depends on the delivery head and the length of the line. The F line can be laid up to a speed of 40 km/h. The six-cylinder diesel engine, which is housed in the removable pump module and drives the hydraulic pump, has 200 hp. The hydraulic lines are connected to a floating pump via 60 m long lines.

Both Chicago and New York, at one time (in the '70s) had similar units on 40' semi trailers the intakes were 16" hard suction. Both had a crane to handle sections of hard suction. In Seattle, the fireboats can supply 20,000 gpm to shore based units. These are handy little rigs where water supply is an issue.

@JackMacLupus Жыл бұрын

Actually here in germany we have pretty similar vehicles. They usually carry a portable pump that can be carried by 4 people and can be used to take water from a river, lake, pool and anything that has water in it. We call it "open water source". This gets usually used when the normal hydrant system is not enough or the fire is at a location where is a bad or no hydrant system available. Those portable pumps can be used as a booster pump too if the water needs to be pumped over longer distances. The process of setting up those portable pumps is basicly the same like we see here, just that the pump is not mounted on a vehicle. (And the pumps use the same kind of coupling like we see at 6:55) On this video you can see two of those portable pumps getting used to pump water on a large fire in Ludwigshafen. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/asyagNuHzMndYWg.html And later on the same video you can see a crane from the fire department that has a water gun at the top and that gets its water from another portable pump. Our trucks usually have the same equipment like a engine, just minus the water tank. They are smaller and more compact and mostly used for smaller volunteer fire departments. But they get more and more rare because there is a new version that has a small water tank in it what is better for small fires as well as the first steps after arriving on scene.

@kevincrosby1760 Жыл бұрын

All of my firefighting training was courtesy of the US Navy. Interesting how many things are different. I understand that a 3" hose is generally used to feed a manifold. Onboard ship, a 3" hose gets a nozzle and a hose team, generally 1 on the nozzle, at least 4 behind the nozzleman, and 1 on the valve. 3" hoses are the standard size. Anything smaller is probably part of specialty equipment, such as a foam station. If I was on DC Central watch inport and saw my firemain DROP to 110 PSI, I would have the rover out looking for the reason. At 100 PSI I would have the fire teams mustered and start roving fire/flooding patrols. At 90 PSI the entire duty section would be mustered and patrolling their own work areas. Normal firemain pressure on my ship ran 120-140 PSI, hence the number of guys on the hose. At that pressure on a 3" hose, one man just isn't gonna get the job done. As far as why we were so particular about the pressure, It's partly a low pressure issue, and partly a potential flooding issue...that water is going somewhere. When you have at least one, possibly two 3500 GPM fire pumps feeding the firemain, a major drop in pressure is either a mechanical issue with the pump, or you have a LOT of water being put on the people side of the hull. Fresh water is precious onboard a ship, as you need to either bring it with you or distill it from seawater. The firemain is used for just about everything that doesn't require potable water...flushing toilets, cleaning the hull and decks, backup cooling for equipment, etc. The ONLY place that you would find 50 PSI on the firemain system would be downstream of a reducing station feeding flushing water to urinals and toilets. I was on a replenishment ship, which re-supplied other ships at sea with fuel, munitions, food, and general supplies. A full load for us was about 5 million gallons of DFM (Marine diesel fuel, about 2.5 million gallons of JP-5 (Jet/turbine fuel) and 600 tons of munitions. We took our firefighting rather seriously, and there really isn't any such thing as too much water on a fire...as long as you are pumping a like amount back overboard. In WWII, there were several recorded instances of the crew getting the fire out, but almost sinking the ship with the firefighting water...

I think the last ladder truck arrived nearly one hour after the fire started during Friday afternoon rush. I was impressed by the ladder truck shower system that spayed water from the top of the ladder in a circular pattern around the truck as well as the nozzle spraying the fire itself. They must have pulled all the available resources on that fire, lots of activities. They must have had six ladder trucks spraying that tall frame trying to douse the sky high flames. I heard that the fire started from a large tipped over propane tank.

Thank you, very important information, impressive (HYDRANT) pumper Rig. All none water Distribution street normal water service should really truly invest in one of these ( HYDRANT) Rigs everytime they look to upgrade too there (Tender) Tanker fleet. I have always thought of a FD design into a District stand by storage ( 5 to 10 thousand gallons) with a Hydrant on front lower side. Make your own elevation Tank. This Hydrant Rig really replaces those ideas that thought of. MAN the Fire Engine manufacturing companies should really truly look into building these for every Remote FD to buy.

In my part of the world, most tankers can do this self contained so if they run out of water on the ground, the truck can go to a water source and draft without the need for a dedicated appliance

I am from Germany. I was surprised that you do not have that many trucks that can supply water direktly from a river or lake. In Germany every normal fire truck has the abbility to get water out of a inexhaustible water source. Every truck has therefor special suck hoses on board. However I see now that it does not make too much sense in a bigger city. Thanks for that insight.

@HeroesNextDoor Жыл бұрын

Most engines and ladders in the USA can draft too. It just this is very specific and does not tie up those trucks at a water source but allows them to stay fighting fires

nice. if I was specing a new one, though, I'd try to get the hard suction the other way around so you don't have to turn it around it to hook it up, though. or put female threads on the strainer and male on the inlet, so the suction could hook up backwards.

The problem we face in America is our taxes represent our local fire departments, so a low income area really doesn't get all the bells and whistles a city truck and department would. On some exceptions where federal grant monies are provides such as a dual support district where (wildfire) happens excess grant monies go to wildland and recovery vehicles up to helicopters to advance the availability of resources. Pretty sad tbh because a majority of small towns and wildfire districts are on a volunteer (no pay) basis

I think along with a lot of other people have never heard of a hydrant truck in the areas that I was a VFF and there wasn't a water supply we used water tenders and I guess if you're near an area that has a lot of pools lakes ponds hydrant truck seems to work well. Unfortunately in the areas that I have been in they would have been absolutely useless nor have I heard of a hydrant truck I thought most fire departments used water tenders of all different sizes now I know better 😂 not everybody has the same units across the board Wildland units are set up differently all across the board as well you might have similar tools but for the most part most apparatuses unless you're in the same department are set up a lot more differently than I could imagine. This is an awesome truck it seems to get the job done. I'm sure like every situation they have snags every now and then with it.

We rely on tankers and porta tanks. Our policy is to never draft surface water. There is applications where it would be convenient though. Mind you our region is roughly 15mi square and within that block or within a few miles of it we have 5 wells

Very interesting!! Fuel tank size for the hydrant piece? Average time until it runs out of fuel during full throttle operations? Are there dry hydrants the hydrant piece hooks up to during cold weather?

@NikkiTheOtter Жыл бұрын

They showed the ice-auger for cold weather, and from other things I've seen, actual runtime is irrelevant with the addition of fuel tender trucks going around keeping all the engines fed.
