Fire Hydrant

[Spencer]

How are you guys hooking up to fire hydrants on trips when you are in multiple counties night after night?

You have to get a meter from every municipal water supply you use.

That is awesome! Only about $8,000 worth of meter deposits! For 3 nights work. What a joke.

you got to be sneaky Lol

They can charge a reasonable fee and almost everyone would comply.

Those that charge crazy fees deserve nothing.

If you need hose you might go by your local fire station and get used hose for free. If a hose fails the yearly pressure test it get tossed....

I'm not sure where I got it - and I've never used it - but I have a cap with a garden hose adapter. It would take longer to fill, but it would work. Not sure where you can get one, but they do exist.

Industrial plumbing supply or fire suppression/sprinkler supply. I have fittings with a T that I get 3 garden hose connections. I have ball valves on each or I can just cap off what I don't need. I usually use one to feed the tank and the other two have 200' of supply hose with hose nozzle on the end for rinsing. I can rinse up to 3 stories with each.

I thought he was asking the correct way to do it. Everyone knows that there are easier ways to do it.

Most Fire Departments now are sending there old house out to an auction these days. They dont just throw it away anymore like years ago.
