About Achievement Hunter:
Hello fellow Gamer. This you should watch me. I play game. Good. Thank you, thank you. If you watch me, I'm hot. Videos, they'll be better... The Achievement Hunter view is the right thing to do UA-cam, so do.
About this Video:
Geoff and Michael try to explain the foreign concept of the mystical fire hydrant to Gavin. Animation by Jaime Aguilar. Video this came from: • Let's Fail: GTA IV
AH Animated - Popping Hydrants
/ achievementhunter
Gavin could have settled this by saying that the UK doesn't get hot for more than a week a year.
A week is a longshot
AverageAfro woah a week? talk about a heatwave
The heat wave would be over before the queue to the hydrant ended.
Whoa
AverageAfro but Gavin can't get over his argument of "ugh everything American is stupid"
I love arguments over nothing where no ones really that invested and everyone's too stubborn to give in.
Jeffrey Nelson and noooo one ever looks into why. Especially if neither jack nor Ryan are present. 😂
Love how there's a background story going on with them getting arrested and whatnot
And the judge sentencing them has Jeremy's hair under his wig XD
and the judge cant fully reach the top of the bench because he's too short lol.
Kestrel Obviously this was before he joined the Fake AH Crew.
Their mugshots also says Goeff, Gavino and Micco. And during the trial Gavin is dressed like Austin Powers.
Carolus Rex Actually Gavin was dressed as Miles Edgeworth while Michael was dressed Pheonix Wright from the Ace Attorney series.
I love how they have this nice pleasant discussion as they get arrested
"pleasant"
Judge Jeremy
Coming 2018
MrNoobDude When the courtroom gets out of hand instead of pounding a gavel, he just axe kicks his desk to shut everyone up.
The One Man Who Beat You he is the judge the prosecutor the jury and Monster Truck
The One Man Who Beat You he is the judge the prosecutor the jury and Monster Truck
Da Woodster He's a judge in the streets and a monster truck in the sheets.
Lil Judge?
The reason they aren't underground is so that they can't be obstructed by vehicles or other objects.
JesusUnoWTF but it's not like the ones in England are in the middle of the road, they're on the pavements and I don't see any cars piling up on there
Basically, none of the answers are wrong
Exactly. That's why it's not illegal to park in front of a hydrant.
OH WAIT.
That may be in England, but in an American city anything goes
And snow. You live in a northern state with a foot or more of snow good luck finding that valve.
Shout out to tiny, confused Judge Jeremy.
Gavin is the logical one here
Jake Cotton Those are some dangerous words you put together my friend
Jake Cotton I agree with Jake
Logic is fun, Vulcans are fun. Oh wait no, the opposite of whatever I just said.
He actually isn't, but that's just due to his own perspective on things.
I'm thinking that maybe Gavin is assuming you break the hydrant when you do that. You'd think he'd realize fire fighters don't have to ram them with a car like they just did, but he's not the brightest crayon in the box.
Gavin forgets that a lot of US is technically desert and unlike the UK get way more than 2 days of sunlight during the summer
Not in the inner cities. That's just Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and some parts of Texas.
Exactly. You just proved Gavin's point... Why would you waste water in places that are like a desert? The UK isn't like a desert, so that's why we dont "pop a hydrant." Because we don't need to, we don't get much heat. Also because there are no above-ground hydrants. You can simply get a glass of water or something; America does have houses, with sinks in them, which have taps..
But is it really a waste of water? To cool people off? What constitutes a waste varies widely from region to region?
I live in Arizona, and while our hydrants are above ground, I have never seen or heard of any being "popped" here just to cool people off. We do try to conserve water :) Seeing as it is hot much of the year, and also very dry, things tend to burn easily and quickly, so it's nice for the firemen to have easier access to the hydrants.
ShadowWave water being used to "cool people off" is kinda a waste because there are so many other useful things you could do with the clean water that's being blasted into the sky - For example: Drink it, water plants with it, have it come out of every faucet in your house.
"but it just runs back into the system" no, it runs into the storm drain, into the sewers, into and through the sewage plant, then out into the ocean, where it becomes salt water and unusable for any if the things I just mentioned. Or, y'know. Wasted.
Please make this a regular thing, this animator is awesome.
What a waste of water!
*(proceeds to fill several 6-ft water balloons and do horrible things to Dan with them in slow-motion)*
A starving child in Africa could have eaten those fire hydrants.
I like how they're being arrested during the discussion.
I love these fan animations. Please add more.
I went into this with low expectation but that was brilliant.
Thing is in England there is not heat only cold
LEGOGUY 666 there is heat in England, it doesn't just constantly rain
Jack Oakes were I live we don't get any sun
Jack Oakes you're obviously a southerner.
ovaloctopus8 no , I live in the north west
LEGOGUY 666 haha really so do I. Maybe I'm over dramatic about the weather then
I see a lot a comment saying "I lived in the USA and I have never seen that" you have to remember just because it never happen around you does not mean it is not a thing. This is kids in the inner city, who are nowhere near a swimming pool or the the pool could be crowed on a hot day trying to keep cool. Going in the house to get a cup of water or having a water gun fight may not be enough, growing up me personality I have seen and done this and it was a lot of fun.
Okay. As a US citizen I am 100% for Gavin's take on this but for cases during extreme weather, like snow, the underground hydrant would not only be covered, but have a layer of ice over it. Yes, the chances of a severe fire in those conditions are still slim but U definately see I guess the UK's take on it.
Blake Belladonna Statistically speaking, the risk of fire increases during the winter, due to idiots leaving stuff near heaters, or faulty wiring on Christmas lights setting the tree on fire, or people leaving food cooking and it catching a blaze. The winter time is one of the worst times for fires, besides drought conditions.
Blake Belladonna Underground hydrants have slabs of bright yellow concrete sticking out of the ground where it is, so you would be able to see it when there is snow covering it. Just simply remove the snow and plug it in. And for ice, firemen have axes. Also, wouldn't the ones out of the ground also ice over? It doesn't matter if it is flat and on the ground. At least that is how it works where I live in New Zealand, and we haven't had snow since 2010.
You don't want to do that. Mallets for knocking ice off. It's a cost cutting/efficiency measure to why above surface access is the go to. Our infrastructure is also years to decades behind most geographically smaller 1st world nations, depending on what part of the country we're talking about. It's a standardized system that still works, and there are more dire things to worry about using tax money to renovate. Like our roads.
I don't know quite how, but the covers on our underground hydrant in england are specifically designed to not ice over and always seem to have the snow melted on top of them up to about 5 inches of depth. Even after that, they're quite well marked and easy to find, most firecrews know exactly where to be looking for them
also not to mention winters in England no longer come with snowfall or any temperature low enough to form particularly thick ice
I guess it makes sense though for Gavin's people. They don't need to pop hydrants when it's always cloudy and raining.
Not always, just mostly
The reason it is above ground in America is because the hydrants have multiple points hoses can plug into, making it so more trucks can respond to an emergency
Ye, there are benefits to both, American Hydrants allow for more trucks to draw from the mains, whereas english hydrants are underground to protect them from our more extreme weather, since frost and constant precipitation would fuck up a typical hydrant.
We used to have the classic looking hydrants in the past, but not anymore, they do stand out, cos they're usually got a yellow sign or painted yellow to indicate them, but ye, we basically just have our hydrants installed in the mains water supply.
places actually pop off the hydrants for kids?
Jack Soyster no they're fucking with him
they do here in new york
They used to. Now the cops pop off the kids
Yeah, like the other guy says, it's pretty common in New York during the summer. There's block parties where the hydrant gets popped open (with proper permission of course)
I grew up in a small town of ~450 people, and one time the fire department had to pop a few hydrants to purge air from the lines, so they just announced they were going to do it so kids could play there.
"And it's very warm inside your house, and it's *85 degrees*"
Wimps, where I live 85 degree weather would be a nice cool day.
WizardOf I live on the sun and what you're talking about is considered a ice age where I'm from
Wait what
I thought them saying 85 degrees was just an exaggeration
Remember, they probably mean Fahrenheit(Since Michael is from Jersey, and Gavin has kind of half-converted.), so it's about 30 C.
But yeah, where I am summers are regularly 130F/55C. So 85 is actually where we set out AC, and it's actually relatively chilly.
Where do you live because "Regularly 55C doesn't sound like anywhere on Earth I've ever heard of.
West Arizona, in a little nook where California is to the south of us.
if there's snow or someone parks on the hydrant having it above ground is pretty useful.
a lot are normally on the pavement, so not on the road
I love this animation style
‘Beating the heat’ is something I’ve heard my whole life but idk why it’s so funny when Michael says it
PHOENIX WRIGHT, YAY
xxMaro92xx hell yeah!!
xxMaro92xx I love how they got gavin to be edgeworth since they're both british xD
Why I want to move
The reason the hydrant is above ground is because it's easier to find and access. Where I live it's not uncommon to have a foot or two feet of snow on the ground so it would be even harder to both find and access. The reason they are below ground though is back in the day we used to have wooden water mains that you'd have to dig up and make a hole in the main to access the water. You would then have to get a wooden plug to shove in the hole which gave rise to the term fire plug.
They missed the best part where Geoff and Michael said "hopscotch" simultaneously
I love the little things in these animations. I'm pretty sure the poster in the Jail cell is a reference to Jack's GTA character
tHIS IS THE BEST THING, from the animation style to whats acTUALLY HAPPENING IN THE ANIMATION I LOVE IT
this animation is adorable....
its so well done
There seem to be benefits and costs to having them in different ways. Above ground = easy to locate, special occasions to 'pop' it for hot summer days IF there's no strict laws about wasting water where you live BUT subject to vandalism and accidents. Below ground = not as subject to wear and tear, vandals, or accidents, good for countries were there's an economic worry about wasting water and have stricter laws against it, BUT can't 'pop' it on hot summer days, and it's harder to locate given it can be covered up easily by multiple things (so you have to know where it is to begin with).
ThatPedanticCommenter OR you could just send your kids to the splash pad at your local park if you have one.
in the UK there are markers raised above ground on the far side of the path that would tell you there is a hydrant in front of it, so it isn't that hard to locate. (search 'uk fire hydrant')
It's a fire hydrant lol As long at it still works and is visible, the city doesn't care.
I think the lids covering the hydrants would be bright yellow, and there's also the markers, so they would be easy to locate. Also, hydrants (in literally any country) tend to be on sidewalks, so no grass, bushes, etc. would be blocking it.
No the thing about the UK is it rarely, if ever, gets that hot any more, the last time it got that hot was over 7 years ago. Also, it is actually illegal to intentionally obstruct a fire hydrant, the only real excuse that will get you off is if you are moving something over it, like a car, but it then breaks down, and you become unable to move it yourself. As to why they're underground, it's safer both for drivers and pedestrians. Drivers no longer have the risk of hitting something that could turn the front of their car into a u-shape, and pedestrians no longer have to worry about walking into it either in the dark or if they simply get distracted.
I love that they are all getting processed during this conversation. It really brings animations like this together.
This is the best animation on Achievement Hunter I've seen so far. Great work by Jaime Aguilar!
love how Jeremy was the judge. Emphasized on how short he is. XD
This is America we don't have to be logical.
Let's change the subject.
This is Sweden and here we are all giant assholes! True fact.
this is Sparta.
Commander Shepard "We'll bang okay?"
smosh?
Judge Jeremy noticed
Jack cop too!
The funniest thing about that was when Michael and Geoff said "hopscotch" at the same time xD
Love this animator's work. The rando background stuff and what the transitions are tops.
Hot days???? Britain????? The country is compiled out of misery and shitty weather
Burning Orphan trust me it never gets hot XD
Oh it's so painfully true
I remember seeing a "10 weird things that'll surprise Americans about British Houses" and the number 1 thing on the list? "British Homes don't have Central Airconditioning!" (OH THE HORROR! Can you imagine living in the UK without AIR CONDITIONING!?!?)
All the little details that were added (them being arrested, jeremy as the judge, etc) add so much to the video and make it such an enjoyable way to re-experience a classic AH memory.
I want to watch many many more of these.
This animation style is amazing!
When they referenced Gavin's underground hydrants in a recent video, I knew there'd be something way back in the annals of AH. Glad this came along then.
One of my all time favorite AH moments
I love these conversations they have together. It made sense on both sides with crazy reasoning and great points at the same time. It's like my friend's arguments.
Gavin actually makes a great point there's no point of having a fire hydrant above ground
Visibility and ease of access.
Well firemen have axes, and if there's enough snow to block a hydrant, then the building would have trouble burning in the first place because of all the snow on it.
+Ryan Lybbert You underestimate the power of a roaring blaze, snow's not gonna do shit to deter it, even if it's 1-2 meters thick. The snow will melt quickly in a housefire.
+T. Wiggins The covers melt the snow. They're very easy to spot even when the rest of the street has snow on it.
Zack Ceasar Congrats on that 2 year old reasoning you had right there. Gold star.
This animation is just as beautiful today as it was when it first started.
Good animation, whoever made it. Good job.
Ahhh a classic moment from a classic episode. I still can't believe that this was 4 years ago! Man time flies. On a side note, this animation was fantastic.
i agree with gavin. that whole popping a hydrant thing is a waste of money.
we have hydrants like that in my country, but you don't open them in the summer for kids to cool off, regardless of the fact that it's 40ºc. you wanna cool off? go to the public pool, it's €2 per person
Oh, I'm sure if these kids had the option of going to a pool, they'd go. You got to realize some people aren't as fortunate as people like us, with readily available swimming pools within walking or driving distance.
Pretty sure the popping a hydrant thing was a reference to It's Always Sunny in Phili
yeah then you do what i do and you dont just. pop a fire hydrant. ive lived with one outside my house my entire life and no one has ever opened it cause its hot out. have a water gun fight or use yr goddamn hose not a fire hydrant
SnowxXxLeopard lol really? I'm not trying to be rude or anything I'm just asking, cuz I too have a hydrant outside of my house and its been popped by the local firefighters some summers when it's gotten extremely hot. not like every day or something but every once and a while.
Broad-Eyed Gaming 40ºc=104ºf
€2=$2.15
Gah, this animation had me going the whole time. Absolutely lovely animation with witty visual gags all throughout. I can't wait to see more of 'em!
"That's a bloody waste of money."
Says the guy who fills up countless water-balloons and then plops them on Dan's head.
0:59 it is marked but people in England usually stick some type of greenery in front of it, blocking it from view.
Gavin makes sense. You guys dont
In what regard? The hydrant being above ground?
It's not only to make the hydrant more visible to fire fighters, but it also keeps cars from obstructing it. Some dick head can't park on top if it's a big hunk of metal sticking out of the ground.
As for popping the hydrant, I live in the US, and I've never heard of anywhere popping fire hydrants in the summer. I can say though that I would have loved that as a kid.
For said dick to park ON TOP of a fire hydrant he would have to park on the pavement, and that's just as illegal as parking in front of a hydrant.
What about when you have a foot of snow or some dick head piles his garbage cans or whatever on the underground fire hydrant? What then?
To add to wwhat Zupahmann said, firefighters in the UK are legally allowed to do whatever the fuck they want to your car to get access to the hydrant.
They can smash your windows in and run the hose through them, they can ram the car out of the way, etc. Pretty much anything they want, they can do, and they don't have to pay for it =D
As for being hidden by snow, there are markers(raised) on the side of the street to indicate that a hydrant is in front of them (google image British fire hydrant, you'll get the idea)
1. You just move the garbage out of the way - same thing goes for any idiot throwing garbage on an above-ground fire hydrant.
2. You take the snow away ...? Even above-ground fire hydrants freezes, and fire departments have antifreeze liquids to quickly open the valves.
In most of northern Europe the fire hydrants are placed in manholes, so it's not like the valve is placed in the ground - you open the manhole, and the valve is ~1 meter down.
Michael: Talks about a kid essentially melting in 85 degree weather.
Me, who lives in a desert where it gets up to 120+ degrees in the summer: ...
you don't pop a hydrant in England because it's always cloudy and cold so there's no point
they're breakin cuffs, getting arrested, and being sentenced
while arguing about "popping a hydrant"
...
this is why i fucking love AH lmao
But what do dogs pee on? At 0:29 I don't know why but Geoff as a dog is hilarious
This is the same guy who made that one entry for "Old Time Ryan" that almost won the contest. Good to see him make another animation. Clever implementation of Jack and Jeremy into the story, too. lol
In all reality Gavin is right. The buried pipe access points are marked by coloured reflective markers on the road.
And if you park a truck over it it is then inaccessible.
why the fuck would they park the truck above the pipe you fucking moron
He means other people besides the firemen
I was hoping for the moment to be thrown in where Geoff hits a hydrant then yells why aren't those put in the ground ! Lol loved this animated story! One of my favorites !
gavin tends to make good points, but he says them in dumb ways so it makes what he says sound stupid
@Wubba Wubba It's a waste of money pouring tons of fresh water down the drains, as opposed to just fill a pool up or something.
So excited for RTX London where Gavin will make these arguments and the crowd will all go 'yeah that's right', it'll be so funny! XD
Technically there is no such thing as "Wasting Water" cause it just goes into the sky and becomes a cloud and then falls back down to earth. So unless we get rid of clouds we aint running out of water any time soon.
But there is such a thing as running out of consumable water. If you think that rain water is safe, look up acid rain. Nearly all open water sources must be treated before it's consumable, and that costs money. So yes, technically, there is such a thing as "wasting water".
SuddenReal I don't think we use consumable water to put out fires...
except for a lot of the West coast which has been in a huge drought for a really really long time.
it doesn't matter if it costs money to be treated that doesn't make it consumable that just means its not free to do, its still will come back down eventually just not consumable so just cause it costs something doesn't mean its consumable, it still cost money to get solar energy and tehy need to be repaired but your still getting energy from something that's not consumable
For me the funniest part about this discussion was later on in the LP Geoff slams into a hydrant and yells: "Argh, I just ran into a hydrant. Somebody should bury those things!"
never heard of popping a hydrant
then you're missing out.
+Kainoa Kihano-Yoshimura I'd rather miss out than potentially die bc i took in too much water
also, i though that was illegal to do... :/
+Professor Krieg isn't it illegal to pop a fire hydrant for non emergencies?
thatrandomvideoguy98 You need permission to do it. But on very hot days people will do it and cops are fine with. Sometimes emergency personnel even pop them for people.
Without permission it's illegal. Nobody asks these days in Vegas though. Back in the day I'm sure it was more common here
This is amazing... All of the little details in the animation. It just makes it so much better.
You know why that kid in his house doesn't have a cup of water? Because the fire hydrant is spewing all of it on the street.
I would be very concerned if the fire hydrant had the exact same pipes.
Except we do in the UK its connected to the mains cause its a fresh clean water source and it would be massive waste of money to have separate pumping stations just for an emergency water supply that due to the climate would not see adequate use to justify its existence.
Drinking water and fire fighting water doesn't come from the same piping, they are separate. Did you know that? Unless a reservoir or water tower is dry the kid will always have water.
this has got to be one of the first moments of AH I can remember, some damn good memories
1:17 who the fuck drew the UK like that 😂
Jaime Aguilar
Midnight Fandoms yeah seriously. We don't draw America wrong.
Midnight Fandoms it's England. Scotland and wales aren't drawn on.
@Daniel Bananas, I wouldn't say it's obvious.. It's tilted to an angle I've never seen before. You can tilt a bunch of countries that much and it would be completely unrecognizable.
It's what's gonna be left of the UK after the Brexit stuff is finalized cause Scotland and Wales are not stayin.
This was probably the best AH animation ive seen
To this day, I've never seen an intentionally popped hydrant.
I don't think I've ever seen a _hydrant_ .
Do you live in a city? Can only speak for NYC but it's not uncommon
I would like to say that the depiction of a firefighter popping a hydrant in this video is 100% accurate; get off the rig in our yellow ponchos, smack the hydrant once with an axe and boom the stem cover opens on a hinge and water flies out. We call it smacking the hydrant. Feels like just yesterday I was a fresh faced junior firefighter smacking my first hydrant.
Poor Gavin, his point made perfect sense and he still gets ridiculed
I love the attention to detail here. Because thw animator must've looked up what hydrants look like in the uk. With the lil yellow H signs and the patches on the ground
This sounded a lot like the bread sticks or butter biscuit debate lol
Except that was opinions and a LOT more rage. This is two actual logical systems that have both worked for ages for their own reasons, neither being really all that better than the other or else one would have switched by now.
Plus Micoo didn't rage that much here.
Logan Goodman cheddar biscuits
Amazing job. Was hoping to see the hopscotch line though.
rockzyk I was waiting for it too. Arguably the best part since Geoff and Michael say it synced up. Makes me crack up every time.
We British don't know how to have fun.
Is that why you come to America?
You know how to not have dumb too, especially as you sent Gavin here, well done England
Gavin isn't dumb, he just doesn't have common sense.
Okay okay okay i have a British question- in the winter time when the floor water is buried under snow how do the fireman get access to it?? Do they have to bring shovels and dig around until they find the opening?
it hardly ever snows and there are markers in the ground above where the water is anyway.
The weather is so shitty and depressing in the UK that it's pointless pop a hydrant when it's already cold and rainy, in stark contrast to the crushing drought in the middle of hot-as-hell California.
Falcons blew a 28-3 lead.
Seahawks should have run the ball.
When I worked for this one town's water and sewer department we would let people know on hot days when we had to bleed the air out of a line. One so they would know it was not a leak but two, so they could cool off with out causing more problems for us. If it was near the center of town it became a fun little event. If you do open a hydrant remember to open and close it slowly so you don't water hammer the pipeline and cause a headache for the people who have to fix it as well as a headache for the customers.
I absolutely agree with Gavin on this one.
I'm an animator and I gotta say this is the best animated segment I ever seen, this reminds me of the "What is Tumblr?" animation
Once again Gavin is the one in the right lmao
Also in Canada I never heard of popping a fire hydrant
You also never experience real heat too often from what I just looked up about 5 seconds ago.
When it's 110 degrees Fahrenheit (45 c I believe) You're gonna jump into some strangers backyard and use their swimming pool
Nope, he is wrong.
LoveAndStuff real heat. Do you think Canada is a fucking igloo 😂😂😂
no he is calling everyone in Canada nice.
I freaking love this animation style. Kudos to Jaime Aguilar!! :D
Gavin is right.
alex farmer Of course Gavin is right.
No he's not, in fact most countries have hydrants and don't have them completely below ground and have hydrants sticking out of the ground.
Yes he is, because they weren't talking about "most countries," they were talking about Britain. Michael's argument about "inner city youths" is invalid because Britain doesn't have inner cities - the entire country is near the coast, and doesn't have the 110 degree summers of southern states like Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas. Britain is also quite a bit farther north than these states, and so in addition to the dampened summer temperatures, it's also colder year round.
Goombalo10 timestamps or it didn't happen
OmegaBlue69 it isnt a popularity contest its just makes alot more sense to have them underground and safe instead of out in the open where they can be damaged valdilised or misused
I grew up in the "inner city" and I can 100% agree with Geoff. Need that shit for when it's hot, when my cars dirty, when I need a bath, and when I just want the kids out the damn house. Really inconvenient for water pressure when I'm doing laundry though
I like how Jeremy is the judge even though he didn't even work for AH until a year after the video came out
I love that they first showed this at RTX Sydney. In a country where during water restrictions watering your garden on the wrong day or at the wrong time of day can result in a fine. Actually vandalising a fire hydrant and getting away with that? ..I can't even fathom.
the art style for this was a delight! kudos to the artist!!!!!
I've watched this animation about 1,000 times, and I didn't realize until about 1,001 that at 0:23 that the hoses aren't his arms. He's holding the hoses. I thought the hoses were his arms and I was really fucking confused every time I watched this.
I'd be totally up for more of these. Probably never gonna rewatch old videos but I do miss some of the banter
In Scotland we pop them off too. People just open the cover and pelt it with bricks till they pop open. Or sometimes people hide Hydrant keys for the summer. The firemen usually come out to turn it off and seal it though lol.
It's crazy how I remember the actual video like it was yesterday. Time flies...
I love that what Gavin says completely makes sense and is totally legit yet its painting him in the light of being completely crazy XD
The grills make perfect sense. When there's a bunch of water in the street, it's only natural that you have to make some fire to balance things out
the video that this animated from had to have been the funniest episode of let's fail in GTA 4 to date
Hydrants allow for more accessibility, they are more convenient because they provide multiple attachment points, are more versatile because they can accommodate multiple hose sizes without needing a converter, and it gets way colder in a good chunk of America and the above ground hydrants are designed to drain out, whereas an in ground can get iced over.
lol i love that there was a little story with that, lol them getting arrested them being in court in jail, good job jamie aguilar
I’m from Canada and we have hydrants sticking out of the ground, but I agree with Gavin in that it definitely makes more sense to be in the ground
Both systems have benefits and draw backs. The american system makes the locations easy to see so that a fire fighter doesn't take as long to locate the nearest hydrant, and also allows for the use of multiple hoses on a single hydrant. The UK system leaves hydrants less exposed, as thus suffer less environmental wear and frees up some space to make an area feel a bit more open.
