5) STREET ASSESSMENT
Fire hydrant visibility
clearly visible from the street
not clearly visible from the street due to landscaping. Fire hydrant should have 36” of clearance for easy access
Distance of the nearest fire hydrant from the home
in close proximity to the home (less than 200 feet)
more than 200 feet from the home and requires long hose lays
Location of the nearest fire hydrant
on the same side of the street as the home
on the opposite side of the street, making it undesirable during a wildfire event. Hose lines will cross the street and be vulnerable to damage from traffic, especially in an emergency situation
on a deadend main. The water pressure in such a hydrant is not reliable and is based upon the amount of water being utilized in the system prior to the hydrant location.
Other (please specify)
Other (please specify)
Address numbers and visibility
clearly visible from both directions of travel from the street. Numbers at least 4 inches in height would be easy to see in low visibility conditions
only visible from one direction of travel
not clearly visible due to landscaping. Clear all vegetation that blocks the address from the street in both directions of travel or move the address location to a better position
the numbers are likely difficult to see in an emergency situation due to their small size. FDS recommends a minimum height of 4 inches
