Article R2225-1 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

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.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R2225-1

Pour assurer la défense extérieure contre l’incendie, les points d’eau nécessaires à l’alimentation en eau des moyens des services d’incendie et de secours sont dénommés “ points d’eau incendie ”.

Les points d’eau incendie sont constitués d’ouvrages publics ou privés utilisables en permanence par les services d’incendie et de secours. Outre les bouches et poteaux d’incendie normalisés, peuvent être retenus à ce titre des points d’eau naturels ou artificiels et d’autres prises d’eau.

La mise à disposition d’un point d’eau pour être intégré aux points d’eau incendie requiert l’accord de son propriétaire.

Tout point d’eau incendie est caractérisé par sa nature, sa localisation, sa capacité et la capacité de la ressource qui l’alimente.
