Firefighters are Saving Time and Saving Lives with Hydra-Shield Permanent Hydrant Adapters and Storz Adapters

DALLAS – BostonChron — Time is the most critical element in saving lives and property when a home or business fire disaster occurs. No company is more aware of the necessity of time-saving equipment and devices when it comes to fighting fires than Hydra-Shield.

Based in Dallas, Texas, Fyrelane USA, a brand of Hydra-Shield, manufactures Permanent Hydrant Adapters, Storz Adapters and the accompanying Blind Caps, with all of their products proudly made in the USA. Permanent Hydrant Adapters, also known as the Hydra Storz Adapter, feature a butterfly vein in the center that allows fire and water departments to leave the adapter attached to the fire hydrant at all times without utilizing a blind cap which significantly impacts the connection time of the hose to the fire hydrant. Hydra-Shield Vice President J. Paul Rouse explains, “Our patented butterfly vein in the permanent hydrant adapters can save firefighters thirty to sixty-seconds when connecting to the fire hydrant. On an average day, a minute doesn’t really matter to most of us, but during a fire emergency, thirty seconds, sixty seconds is an incredibly long time. It can literally be the difference between life and death.” According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a fire department responds to a fire every 21 seconds, a home fire structure is reported every 88 seconds, and a home fire death occurs approximately every 3 hours in the United States. In 2022, 1.5 million fires resulted in 3790 civilian deaths and 12,250 injuries. Without a doubt seconds count when it comes to saving lives in the event of a fire.

The Permanent Hydrant Adapter also combats the problem of debris in the hydrant since the butterfly vein closes the adapter’s connection to the hydrant and can only open when water pressure is applied. This feature prohibits garbage and rocks from being stuffed in the hydrant and small animals from nesting in the valves restricting water flow and use of the hydrant during an emergency. “As the only manufacturer of the Hydra Storz Permanent Adapter, we have the exclusive ability to equip fire departments with the fastest and safest hydrant connectivity in the market,” continues Rouse. “We take great pride in providing our Permanent Hydrant Adapters, Storz Adapters and Blind Caps to these heroes who run into life-threatening situations on a daily basis. We are committed to making sure not a second is lost in their fight to preserve property and most importantly, lives.”

Permanent Hydrant Adapters are currently in use at DFW Airport, Houston, Texas, McKinney, Texas and other municipalities around the country. For more information on the Hydra-Shield Permanent Hydrant Adapters, Storz Adapters and Blind Caps, visit www.hydrashieldinc.com.

Hydra Storz Saves Time to Help Fire Departments Save Lives!

Did you know that 10% of fires account for 90% of loss of life and property? House fires spread especially fast, typically taking 7 minutes to blaze out of control.

Bottom line? Every second counts.

To better protect our nation’s communities, our fire departments are constantly looking to improve efficiencies and speed up response times by updating current systems with innovative, streamlined solutions.

Hydra Storz connectors are widely regarded as a critical time-saving alternative to traditional threaded couplings by:

City’s Hydrants Getting a New Lock

Vandals bent on opening fire hydrants will have an increasingly tougher time as the city steps up installation of a new generation of locking devices, according to Chicago Water Management Department officials.

Under a $3.65 million contract awarded recently to a Texas firm, as many as 10,000 so-called Custodian nut-locking systems will go on hydrants during the next five years, joining 12,000 already in service.

Placement of the devices will be determined by analyzing 311 calls of unauthorized hydrant openings, officials said.

The new model represents the eighth generation of locking devices as designers seek to stay a step ahead of people who try to misuse hydrants, said Tom LaPorte, a Water Management Department spokesman.

“You never are going to have a completely tamperproof lock, but this has been very effective in discouraging open hydrants,” he said. “In the old days, you might have seen 3,000 or 4,000 being opened on a given day during a bad heat wave. Now we are down into the low hundreds.”
