Fire pumps & Fire Hydrant Boosters
What do we tag them as? e.g. https://westnordost.de/p/135052.jpg & https://westnordost.de/p/135053.jpg --Fizzie41 (talk) 04:58, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
Outlets
How does one tag the upper end of such dry riser inlets? They are within the building, usually inside a closed cabinet (along with the hose and nozzle). They are not emergency=suction_points or fire_hydrant:pressure=suction because the pipes are dry until firemen feed it through the inlet (e.g., you suck if you try to suck). I'm hesitant to use emergency=fire_hydrant + fire_hydrant:pressure=no or water_source=firefighter_vehicle. ITineris (talk) 07:23, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
- Not all standpipes have a hose or cabinet on top, I have seen ones that just stick out a wall with a firefighting coupler and a sign telling firefighters which inlet is at the other end . Jbohmdk (talk) 21:50, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Essentially unsourced claim of obsolescence
The article currently claims that basic standpipes are obsolete and even banned in some places, but the only source is a link to a June 2018 BBC article about the inquiry into the Grenfell tower fire, and that article doesn't even mention standpipes specifically, only that various other fire protection systems in that building were badly maintained and failed catastrophically .
