All water supplies used for fire fighting purposes must be protected from freezing. Underground services (when installed in accordance with local Codes and Ordinances) should be able to meet this criteria. Discharging a large quantity of water in temperatures this low may create other hazards you’ll have to deal with. Fighting a fire on a “skating rink” may prove to be an interesting challenge, for one. Back to Top Got a question? Email us or call us 24/7! We’ll feature it here so everyone will benefit!
