if a fire hydrant is ten feet away from my porch and also they replaced the fire hydrant with a new one but They did not put the dirt back they filled it with rock i pay taxes on this place so how can i resolve this? and we can not plant nothing on our yard
Not in the area I work, on a fire report we try and figure total loss from structure, then we can try and figure Gallonage used, to then put in a report also. During training firefighters also have to use hydrants to teach Driver/Operators how to Pump, Draft, and for the guy riding backwards, we flow water in handlines at full pressure to teach and better understand techniques of extinguishing fire and to get a understanding of the force a handline has. A 13/4 handline produces around 80lbs reaction force depending on PSI put on that handline. But our fire chief has the captian log how many gallons of water is used for training so he in turn can inform the City Water Department. If the fire department had to pay for the water used they wouldn't have a balanced budget, have untrained firefighters, and most likely your taxes would be higher to offset the yearly budget for Water Hydrant Use The water consumers use for home and business are most likly absorbing this, not tax payers, but it has to be paid for. Thats why the Fire Service has a Fire Prevention branch to prevent fires, and for the most part its working, you see more crime and more fires in low income areas but else where fires are on the decline. Fire departments run more non fire calls than fire calls. I went to house dispatched as a difficulty breathing patient, but the lady just wanted us to fix her phone. Its crazy what people ask us for. But I am glad to do it, there are so many people who have no one, and they rely on Police and Fire to help them, some times I feel sorry for them, but I try not to let it bother me.
No. They bring it from home.
No, they store up rain water and save it.
The water from hydrant comes directly from the city supply, so the cost is absorbed by the tax payers. In rural areas, they fill their trucks from public water sources such as lakes and rivers.
I would recommend a small demo hammer with a flat chisel from a rental store. Any bumps left can be smoothed out with mortar. Concrete can be ground down with a grinder if you prefer. Lots of dirty, dusty work. Good luck
