To ensure external fire defence, the water points required to supply water to fire and rescue service resources are referred to as “fire water points”.
Fire water points are made up of public or private structures that can be used permanently by the fire and rescue services. In addition to standardised fire hydrants and hydrants, natural or artificial water points and other water intakes may be considered for this purpose.
The provision of a water point to be included in fire water points requires the agreement of its owner.
A fire water point is characterised by its nature, location, capacity and the capacity of the resource that supplies it.
