A fire hydrant audit is a process that involves a thorough inspection and testing of fire hydrants to ensure they are in good working condition and ready to be used in an emergency.
Here are some things that are typically included in a fire hydrant audit:
Visual inspections: Trained professionals look for signs of damage, corrosion, leaks, or other issues
Flow tests: These tests measure water pressure and flow rates to ensure they meet the required standards
Documentation: Procedures are put in place to document inspections on hydrant cards
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 291 Standard recommends that fire hydrants be inspected annually and flow tested every five years
