How do you backflush a dry hydrant?
A dry hydrant is backflushed after a suction hose connection is made to a fire department pumper. The backflushing occurs when the pump operator opens the water tank valve. This will allow tank water from the pumper to flow through the suction hose into the dry hydrant piping and strainer. This process allows dirt and debris from the water source that has collected in the dry hydrant strainer and pipe to be removed.
How fire pump work?
when there is a fire the fire engine pulls up and hopefully connects a hose to a fire hydrant and that brings water into the engine. The fire engine then pumps the water from the hydrant to the engine and finally to the hoses and they help pump water up to the hose to stop a fire.

What is in a fire hose?
We commonly find water in fire hoses. The fire hose with its nozzle is used as a way to get water onto a fire. By connecting the hose to a pump, which is in turn connected to a water source, that hose will provide a high-pressure conduit for the transfer of the water.We also find fire hoses connected between different units to deliver water. If a truck sets up on the fire ground to deliver water, it is usually connected to a water source via an engine, which is connected to a hydrant. Hoses connect the hydrant to the engine, and the engine to the truck to transfer water.

When did fire hydrants come into use?

What is the NFPA definition of what is the maximum distance a fire department connection can be from a fire hydrant?
The FDC and hydrant aren't something that connect directly together. In order to put any kind of water pressure into a sprinkler system, an engine HAS to pump it in. Therefore, as long as the fire apparatus has enough hose, or can GET the hose from other apparatus the hydrant could hypothetically be a block away. There may be problems with friction loss with any large distances though. In my local area, the fire department has a maximum of 150 feet from the FDC to the Fire hydrant.
