A New Type of Fire Fighting Equipment: Fire Water Crane

These past few days, I saw sanitation and garden sprinklers adding water, and only then did I know that the equipment used for adding water is called the Fire Water Crane. Find out from Baidu;

Fire water crane is a specialized water intake facility for urban water supply system fire protection, consisting of underground parts (main control water valve, residual water discharge device, opening and closing linkage mechanism) and aboveground parts (water diversion pipeline and sheath, fire hose interface, rotating mechanism, expansion mechanism, etc.). It has the characteristics of swinging, expandable, antifreeze, and fast opening and closing, and is often used for fast fire trucks.

As is well known, the main purpose of fire water cranes (fire hydrants) in urban areas is to effectively complete fire extinguishing tasks for fire trucks during the firefighting process. Fire water cranes can quickly provide water through the operation of specialized fire-fighting tools under various weather conditions, achieve the goal of extinguishing fires, effectively complete firefighting tasks, reduce fire hazards, and protect the lives and property of the country and the people. The function of fire water cranes can be defined as "specialized water supply for fire protection".

This water supply system, commonly known as the 'fire water crane', has officially appeared on the streets of our city. Recently, the reporter learned from the Baiyin District Fire Rescue Brigade that in order to strengthen the construction of public fire infrastructure in our city and improve the overall ability to resist fire accidents, according to the city's fire work deployment, the fire department, in conjunction with the urban management department, has determined the water intake location and installed a "fire water crane" at the intersection of the central street in the city. Subsequently, the reporter came to Xiaoxi Road and saw a teenage high school student stuffing an ice cream bag into the valve barrel of a fire water crane. When the reporter asked why the garbage was thrown here, the high school student was very puzzled and said, "Isn't this a garbage bin?" In fact, the difference between the fire water crane valve barrel and the garbage bin is still significant. Compared to the valve barrel of the garbage bin, the fire water crane valve barrel is very thin, with an open diameter of only six or seven centimeters. In the interview, the reporter found that the fire cranes near Chongshan Road, Huohuo Road, and Huigong Square also encountered the same situation
