SCDF trials new fire hydrant that can cut time for water dispensing by 60%

[@erikbrantner4295]

Where are the caps for the hydrants out there? No Caps to remove??

[@imranbecks]

Definitely faster since the valve is on the hydrant itself and no hydrant adaptor needed for the hoses. No need the old pit key anymore to lift up the heavy cover and locating the valve on the inside which really takes up additional seconds. And attaching the adaptor on both ends of the hydrant also can take additional seconds. During a fire incident, it can be pretty panicky sometimes to attach the adaptor and to locate the valve on the inside. Took them long enough to finally change it. This is gonna be way quicker. And yes I'm a firefighter in SG, that's how I know this 👨‍🚒 Ready! Water on!

nothing special nor innovative... overseas hydrant valve is long ago on the top of the hydrant.....

[@yoominbi]

@@sookainian No one said it's special or innovative. OP just said it was a needed change that finally happened 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@imranbecks]

@@yoominbi I'm talking about Singapore he talk about overseas 🤦🏻‍♂️

Wow awesome 👌

[@pokmerb444]

fire hydrant at 121 land port opposite Chinese garden mrt. already growing grass and number disappeared. and Buddhism temple near Bukit batok the parking area fire hydrant also very rusty and a lots of dry grass. scdf firefighters please go checking too. tq very much. and coffeeshop and hawker fire extinguisher got expired or not please go check-ing and got place properly when emergency needs to using immediately can using instead of putting a lots of cupboard, poly foam etc there

[@ericluk68]

Don't worry. The cloud device built in the hydrants and will find the defects and AI through cloud will repair it by itself.🤣🤣🤣

[@pokmerb444]

Some area already rusty and number coming out. Change this type is better and must have a number too

[@ridhobaihaqi144]

In my country, hydrant usually stolen or unmaintained, so it wasn't work properly. Like.. low water pressure, no valve, even no water inside the system

[@imranbecks]

Then if there is a fire nearby and they need to use the hydrant, they're basically screwed. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ericluk68]

which country are you in?

[@TyroneBeiron]

Yup, and that hex key is going to be on sale on alibaba and carousell soon... 🤣

[@ericluk68]

it is a wrong design in view of the evolution of fire hydrant.

[@QWERTY28875]

Singapore government continue invest on better equipment, Malaysia government buy selfish things (Vellfire, Useless Najib tower, not upgrading flood gates, not upgrading infrastucture)

[@josephSG8742]

Tis can save time. Every sec counts.

[@sktoh4469]

Okay lah

[@zandrakoon4651]

😳 Why are we seeing water leakage from the new design hydrant throughout the video ?

[@imranbecks]

It's just the building up of water pressure. The valve on top wasn't closed tightly coz they are doing the demo.
