ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for attaching a fire hose to a fire hydrant and for facilitating remote operation of the hydrant actuator stem. A water supply module containing a length of conduit is coupled between a hydrant port and a fire hose. An articulated boom supports an upper motor assembly coupled to the actuator stem of the hydrant. A remote transmitter can be used to broadcast control signals to the water supply module to operate the motor assembly. The motor assembly rotates the actuator stem of the hydrant between fully closed and fully open positions. The apparatus frees a fire fighter normally stationed at the hydrant, permitting the fire fighter to engage in the initial fire fighting activities at the scene of a fire.
