Does the water have to be clean to use for a fire?

It’s just rust build up in side the fire hydrants, not inside the water pipe, I’ve been doing this for 40 years.

well since it is tied to your drinking water it is supposed to be flushed every so often because hydrants and dead ends

They clean the line out so the water can flow through the hose without clogging the firehose nozzle.

We do this every year hydrant maintenance , It lets us know if they hydrants need to be serviced. And we also flush it into a water truck until the water is crystal clear ! Fire department in my area only use the hydrants if there is a fire .

see that's the one thing with sprinkler systems also is that nobody cleans them out and so when they're needed they don't operate.

Really? firefighters? The public water workers do that, so they can test the hydrants so they work when the firefighters need them. And they clean the system out by flushing all hydrants in the town if they can. I respect all the firefighters do, hats off to all. But give credit where its do

ex firefighter here 1 reason to flush hydrants is arsonists will fill with gas so when truck hooks up you spray gas on a fire

This prevents damage to the truck's pump by removing any rusted particles from the underground pipes.

This is true, and they do this all around the United States in the city areas, so all the dirt and settlement wind up in people houses nearby thru tap water.💧 This is how they've been controlling the neighborhood with chemicals and fluoride.⚠️
