[Scan-DC] Dig out your fire hydrants!/ More thoughts

[Doug Kitchener]

Some hydrants that are tied to building sprinkler systems/alarm systems have red and white whip antennas on them... I've always been curious about how that system works, but I believe that if the hydrant is opened it will trip the fire alarm... seems to me I remember once where a landscaper or pool contractor opened one of those hydrants somewhere and set off an alarm that called the FD...
