Hydrants & Hoses

Up

There are seven fire hydrants in the area. Next to each hydrant is a box containing hose and fittings for that hydrant.

Things to Remember:

bulletWater pressure is such that no more than two hydrants may be used at any one time.
bulletThe purpose of the hydrants and hoses is to stop a wildfire from getting to houses and/or to stop a house fire from spreading between houses. The hydrants and hoses are not meant to put fires out within houses (keep fire extinguishers readily available in your home and garage for this purpose).
bulletThe nearest organized fire response is from Aspendell or Bishop (Bishop Fire Department, Cal Fire and/or Inyo National Forest).
