ABSTRACT:
An improved fire hydrant having a lower portion and an upper portion. Under normal circumstances the upper portion is simulated fire hydrant made of resilient plastic and connected to the lower hydrant by a special fitting attached to the rim of the hydrant and opened or closed by a key. The special fitting is fastened to a plate projecting upwardly from the lower hydrant. The plate is connected to the lower hydrant through a segmented collar that is secured around a flange of a basket housing. In case of a fire the simulated fire hydrant is replaced by a light weight metal portable hydrant on which the key is suspended, and transported on a fire truck. The portable hydrant has a plurality of dowels that fit into grooves located on an upper extension of the lower fire hydrant.
