Dry Risers Caerphilly

Dry and wet risers are fixed systems used by firefighters to transport water throughout a premises in the event of a fire. Dry risers are typically found in taller buildings where the potential for a fire to spread is greater. Wet risers, on the other hand, are typically found in lower-risk buildings such as residential properties. Dry risers consist of a network of pipes that are filled with water and stored under pressure. In the event of a fire, firefighters can connect their hoses to the dry riser system and use the water to extinguish the flames. Wet risers, on the other hand, are not filled with water until they are needed. In the event of a fire, firefighters will connect their hoses to the wet riser system and pump water into it from an outside source. Both dry and wet risers are essential parts of fire safety in larger buildings.
