照顾冷冻消防栓。
“如果有的话，如何最好地照顾冷冻消防栓？”是一个在零天气中需要大量照顾和关注的主题。在任何市政当局或私人公司铺设水管时，应格外小心地沿着霜冻线以下。在设置或放置消防栓时，排水应具有最大的考虑。如果设置在粘土地面上，请挖一个直径2½英尺深3英尺的空间，并充满好石头。它的消防栓是在沙质的土壤中设置的，几块石头会回答目的，因为沙子非常多孔，并且会产生非常好的排水。如果您有一个非常干燥的消防栓，则不太容易受到雨季的气候变化的影响。所有消防栓应在夏季和秋季后期乘汽车。消防栓应首先冲洗，然后泵入干并上油。我们在照顾冷冻消防栓的情况下的第一个努力是让它们在秋天照顾后，直到温度计表示为零。 A thorough inspection is then made at once, the results are reported, and immediate action is taken to relieve the hydrant. My first experience with the care of hydrants was to cover them with straw. This was a failure, the snow and winter rains falling on the straw brought about a bad result, as the straw froze solidly, and we lost time in cutting it away to get an attachment. YVe next tried alcohol, salt, blow and skim pipes, in fact, any remedy that presented itself or was suggested. After a failure of all these remedies, we hail to go to steam for relief. T he care of a hydrant by the Mansfield fire department, in the winter, is as follows: We have a small 2 1/2-horscpower boiler, which is kept under a small steam pressure at all times) during the winter and responds to all alarms of fire. Tt is drawn by a single horse. On reaching a hydrant and finding it frozen, we immediately place a small hose leading info the hydrant, and the results are quick and satisfa torv. After the fire, when shutting the hydrant off, we watch the action of the drip. If the water passes away swiftly, we know the hydrant has a good drip, and after the water has passed out of the hydrant, we put in steam and dry it out. You will naturally make the inquiry: Suppose the hydrant does not relieve itself, what do you do? We place a small hose in it: attach it to a svphnn attached to the small boiler, relieve the hydrant, and dry it out. These are the methods we usv. and we find them the best. After treating a hydrant as shown above after a fire, we do not forget them, but go back to them again in an hour and find out what is their condition, giving them prompt attention if in our iudgment we think they need it. I have read that there are ele trical anpliances for the relief of frozen hydrants. As, however. I have never had any experience of this kind. T cannot speak intelligently upon that method of treating one.
