Fire Hydrant Markers Help Emergency Crews Save Lives

Because fires can rage out of control in a matter of seconds, every moment counts when locating a water source to put out the flames. Trees, shrubs, and even trash cans and bags can obstruct hydrants making them barely visible. This can delay an emergency crew's ability to get a fire under control quickly. Winter months are particularly dangerous as snow plows can push multiple feet of snow to the sidewalk severely reducing, and even eliminating, a hydrant's visibility.

Fortunately, the use of hi-visibility top mount fire hydrant markers are an inexpensive and highly effective way to remedy this issue. The reflective fiberglass rods help emergency crews quickly and easily identify the nearest water source and gain much needed time in getting a fire under control. Our Top Mount Hydrant Markers are made from a high grade 3/8” x 7’ fiberglass rod with built-in UV protection, and heavy duty stainless steel springs. This highly visible reflective fiberglass rod easily attaches to fire hydrants to ensure that emergency crews can locate them at night or in the snow.
