During a recent commercial fire inspection Firefighter Colelli was able to conduct a flush and flow test of a 'private' fire hydrant. Flowing just over 1200 GPM, this properly functioning fire hydrant is an absolutely critical feature should there be a fire. In UPT, fire hydrant color differentiates the responsibility for maintenance; public vs. private. Available water flow rates of silver 'private' fire hydrants are determined and maintained through the commercial fire inspection process.
