@Elpajarito7 huh... giving money to illegal immigrants, giving "medical. Care" to transgender individuals, giving drugs and alcohol to homeless, ect SHALL I GO ON??
My temp job last year was working as a mechanics apprentice, my boss was one, just the most down to earth guy on the planet. Haven’t met a single “bad” firefighter
In coal mining we have a fire boss, which in the old days would inspect the mine between the changing or start of a shift with a candle to check for and ignite explosive gas pockets.
As a Canadian I always thought when I saw kids dancing in fire hydrant waters was like illegal and was just kids breaking into the hydrants.. that's super cool that they do that!
Once upon a time it was just people breaking into hydrants. Some people still do. That's why they got these PSAs. So someone who danced in broken into hydrants in the 70's can be informed that the FD is willing to do it for them safely these days.
When I moved from California to Brooklyn, New York, there were a ton of fire hydrants spraying into the street, and they would run all day and night. I didn't know it was legal, and it felt so bizarre after growing up in California, where there was always a drought, and we couldn't wash our cars or water the lawn.
When I was a kid the firemen came and opened the fire hydrant across the road from my grandma’s house. I played in that thing for hours on end during the summer. The water was flowing into a ditch so I built a dam out of dirt and rocks.
I think it would be better if cities and towns opened up more "splash pads" usually a free park for the public where water is sprayed everywhere behind a fenced in area with obstacles to play with. Rather than diverting emergency resources like the fire hydrant and having kids play in the unprotected street
I was taught in the fire academy w/hydrants...all the way open and all the way closed. Partially open...the pressure inside is forcing water out of the drain on the bottom and undermining the ground.
In the west with our water shortages this would never happen. I remember as a kid growing up the only day of the year the fire department would do this is the 4th of July. During the parade
Thank you for this I'm a kid of 70s Sesame Street I've always wondered about these. I'm in Australia so we dont get these opportunities most of our hydrants are below ground.
They do / did , hence programs like These to encourage people to do it legally / safely. Used to be a kind of hood commodity to get those special wrenches to open the hydrant up, someone would have it stashed and.being em out for the kids in the summer. Eventually they’d come around and close it off again but police / fire never could be bothered to really fight it especially as it generally meant peaceful family fun and neighborhood self regulation were the order of the day. Still, the water pressure can be high af, and if people are careless about which hydrants they open, i’m sure flooding / property damage is a potential issue, so something like this with caps to limit flow makes sense. I’d bet some people still have the wrenches though and get the caps like well sure why not lol
Brah I live above a fire station in Hawai’ithey bee working all day long but they got a volley ball court at the fire house These guys just go at it every night from 7pm to 930pm honestly I wanna join and serve the community it’s cuz these dudes move as a unit Love seeing em save and protect people all while having a the brother hood of being fire men Staying in shape for any task they must overcome !
@@paxtonbanker no, no it ain't. Not as long as they rent the sprinkler cap from the city. I'm just saying that usually governments want to know how much water somebody is using so they can charge them for that too.
@@ChronicBongitis420 I’ve never seen a cap like that, I guess different cities have different codes when it comes to their water usage.. my city would require a meter installed on that so that any water used is accounted for otherwise it’s theft of services.
My understanding is lots of old systems here in the usa need to be checked for water pressure, etc. and allowing people to "rent" the hydrant is one of the easiest ways to do that is to see how well it maintains the water pressure! So its a win/win
Man this feels like a time forgotten I has been so long since I've heard of fires hydrants being used for this I didn't know you all had special equipment
Firefighters are cool asf, I can’t remember ever hearing about a bad firefighter experience. Just heroics and wholesome things. Like the ones that saved numerous lives during the aftermath of 9/11.
I saw someone backing up my street hit hydrant, and it was like a geyser. That thing exploded, and it was sending a powerful stream about the same height as the street lights! That was a blast! Good times, man....
The valve that shuts and opens the water for a fire hydrant is under ground. If you run a hydrant over it shouldnt leak any water unless the valve was already open
@@nathanacreman632 There's actually two types of hydrents: wet barrel and dry barrel. Dry barrel hydrants do shut off underground, and are used when the climate goes below the freezing point. Wet barrel hydrents are full of water and will shoot water out if sheared off.
@@timothy-9995yea i was gonna say living in Los Angeles i’ve seen countless fire hydrants shooting water out after being knocked off and i assume it’s because we don’t get cold enough to need the underground shut off
@Crazy-Chicken-Media or your local water department. Here in Wisconsin the fire department has nothing to do with the hydrants. They just have permission to use them unrestricted. Kinda nice that way though cause if you do fill your poll it's just tagged onto your normal water bill.
@code42092 yes we do stop watching the media and actually live here. We're out of the drought and been out for 2 years already and this summer being the wettest in decades.
I am an EMT (also volunteered at a firehouse for a bit) that often worked in Philly. I saw a good handful of open fire hydrants, but I know a fire department didn’t open them 😂 I definitely stopped by with my partner a few times in the summer though
I remember how many times in the early 90's in the BX we had no cap. I love when the cap became available because it was a lot safer and we weren't wasting so much water. 👀❤️
You guys are absolutely amazing😮 I have never seen anything like this. This is beautiful and why I love firefighters more than anything…okay mostly bc of the physiques 😂😂😂❤️
Im glad they took the mic off you. If you’re ever wearing a rode go mic it will record EVERYTHING locally on the transmitter whether it’s connected to the receiver or not.
Cool I never knew this. I’m from the 80s and live in the south and I’ve always seen on TV fire hydrants being open and kids up north in New York in movies playing in the open fire hydrants but I never knew they made sprinkler caps that you could actually go to a firehouse and ask for I wonder what year they started doing this because in the movies and TV shows the hydrants used to be just wide open, and you could tell that someone random from the area just opened it up
Firemen are the best. I was at a summer camp when I was a kid the fire department came and they brought Smokey the Bear and they decided to get their long fire hose out. And it happened to be the day we were having a slip and slide and they decided to hose down more water on the slip and slide and then they decided to hose all of us down and let us have some fun and it was amazing.

It’s really cool how once he hears there’s smoke he instantly locks in. Like his facial expression goes to focus
We used to use the old coffee can when we didn't have a sprinkler head on ours.
Right next to EMTs,FF are the chillest of all emergency services
I’d love to see more departments offer this service
You can do that just about anywhere. The department needs to open up hydrants semi regularly anyway for maintenance purposes.
I think it would be better if cities and towns opened up more "splash pads" usually a free park for the public where water is sprayed everywhere behind a fenced in area with obstacles to play with. Rather than diverting emergency resources like the fire hydrant and having kids play in the unprotected street
Chicago back in the day the block boys would take them off themselves 😂 good old times
And the block girls would have fun running through the 💦! 😻
Same in the Bronx or little Italy😂❤
Yes and when I was little it would be so much force it would push me around. Ahh the good ole days so dangerous lol
That's why they've created this program bc ppl usually just open them themselves and they don't want that
That’s why the top operating nut is only opened with a magnetic wrench. At least in the cities.
This is what we need in this world. People being good people! So much respect for this guy
They were tired of kids busting them and came up with a solution lol
That is pretty cool! Did not know the Fire Dept will do this for the community. 👍
Mad respect for these men. Thank you FDNY
I never knew you could do this! Very cool and a great use of public resources.
Love to see this kind of community engagement!!!!

Can you get permits to use water from a fire hydrant?
talk to your local fire station, they'll have all the answers for you.
Yes, but if you’re using it for a business or to fill a pool, they’ll give you a meter and charge you for it
