Hydrant & Dry Riser Testing

Fixfire® offers Hydrant and Riser testing in accordance with British Standard requirements

Fire hydrants are typically used by the Fire Brigade to replenish fire tender water tanks and for direct feed via a standpipe to the lay flat hoses used by the Fire Brigade to tackle a fire. British Standard BS9990:2015 requires that hydrants should be subject to an annual test and inspected by a competent person every six months to ensure the hydrant remains ready and in a working condition for Brigade use.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Dry Risers

A dry riser is a system of pipes and valves usually installed in tall buildings or buildings with restricted access to enable the Fire Brigade to pump water within the building. Dry riser systems incorporate an “inlet” valve typically located outside the building at ground level in a lockable box with Georgian-wired glass. The Fire Brigade connect their external water supply at this point and then connect a hose internally at an “outlet” valve at the appropriate level to fight the fire.
