THE MAIN THING IS SAFETY !!   If you or others are in immediate danger, LEAVE !

The 2 Large black tanks on the hill are the water supply for the 3 RED HYDRANTS. The 2 large valves at the base of the tanks are open when they are positioned like this: IF They are closed and you need to open them, OPEN VERY SLOWLY to allow the pressure in the pipes and hoses to equalize. The 3 Hydrants are fed via gravity from the 2 large tanks on the hill and are located as follows: STAND Alone. Really can't do much except refill a fire truck. HOUSE Hydrant by Swingset. This one has multiple hoses in close proximity to it. They are on reels attached to a cart. NOTE: The Fire Hoses are 2". UNROLL ANY HOSE FULLY BEFORE use. OPEN Hydrant Levers VERY SLOWLY. There is enough hose to reach the house and the garage. Hydrant by the Black water tank behind the shop. UNROLL ANY HOSE FULLY BEFORE use. OPEN Hydrant Levers VERY SLOWLY. NOTE:  There is an additional water supply at the base of this water tank and it's separate from the Hydrant System. It's shown in the Blue Circle. There is also another water supply located on the corner of the pump house at the house, It is supplied directly from the water tank behind the office and the supply line runs underground and across the creek.   It's also shown in the Blue Circle.

FIRE HOSE & System Valves 1.  UNROLL ANY HOSE FULLY BEFORE use. 2. Open the RED Nozzle at the end of the hose fully before opening the Hydrant Lever. 3. OPEN Hydrant Levers VERY SLOWLY. FIRE NOZZLES:   Opening and Closing the Nozzle will Control the FLOW of water through it. Opening and Closing it may be different than you intuitively think.  There is an embossing on the Nozzle that shows which direction is Open & Close.

ROOF SPRINKLERS at the HOUSE: There are 2 seperate Sprinklers Permanently mounted to the roof of the house. They are activated by turning on the Hose Bibs on the East and West sides of the house.  (Look for the RED Vinyl Tags). TURN them on FULLY and let them run.

OFFICE & SWIMMING POOL WATER PUMP There is a Gasoline Powered Water Pump in an enclosure on the TREX Deck by the pool.  See Picture: 1. PUMP  2. On-OFF Switch  3. Prime Pan (water) 4. Priming Port 5. Starting Fluid (Ether) 6. Intake Hose 7. Ether / Starting Fluid Spray Area The water supply for the pump is the pool itself. (Roughly 18,000 Gallons) The water is sucked out of the pool through a large olive green colored hose.

THERE is ANOTHER Identical Pump located in the Pump House on the other property.

AGAIN, THE MAIN THING IS SAFETY !!   If you or others are in immediate danger, LEAVE !
