Illegally opened hydrants = big problems 🚫💧 They release 1,000+ gallons per minute and reduce water pressure 👉 making it harder to fight fires🔥. They can also stir up sediment that causes discolored water. Stay safe and cool 😎by requesting a sprinkler cap from @FDNY!
25 vs. 1,000 gallons/min 💧 It’s a big difference! Spray caps make hydrants safe — just 25 gpm instead of 1,000! That protects pressure, prevents injuries, and helps avoid discolored water caused by stirred-up sediment. Get one FREE at your local @FDNY firehouse.
New Yorkers, we’re expecting several days of serious heat and humidity starting tomorrow. The heat could hit 100 degrees! Stay hydrated, avoid being outside for too long, and stay in A/C. Check on your neighbors! nyc.gov/beattheheat
