Uzhgorod Fire Rescue Department

Most fire hydrants in Ukraine are actually carried on a truck, and screwed into a water cistern. The top photo shows the the truck attached to the portable hydrant, middle photo shows the fire fighter removing the hydrant from the truck cabinet, and the lower photo shows a fire fighter screwing the hydrant ino the cistern.
Interesting system, however one fire fighter indicated that in winter it is sometimes difficult to find the exact location of the cistern opening as they may be covered in snow!
