Fire! fire! NO WATER! - Lead Stories - Jamaica Gleaner - Sunday | December 2, 2012: Your nearest hydrant may not be working
Close to 40 per cent are in disrepair
Tyrone Reid, Senior Staff Reporter
A recent mapping survey conducted by the Jamaica Fire Brigade - in tandem with the National Water Commission - has revealed that close to 5,000 (roughly 40 per cent) of Jamaica's 13,000-strong network of fire hydrants are out of commission.
This means that almost 1,300 fire hydrants have fallen into the not-working line since the last survey was done six years ago.
