What is the typical height of a fire hydrant above ground?

The typical height of a fire hydrant above ground is generally in the range of 4 to 5 feet. This height is designed to ensure that firefighters can easily connect hoses and operate the hydrant without significant physical strain or difficulty. The 4 to 5 feet height facilitates access while also ensuring visibility for engine crews and other emergency responders. It is important for hydrants to be positioned to provide adequate water supply during a fire emergency, but their height is also standardized for efficiency and practicality in operation.
