Fire Hydrant Locations
It’s important that people (a) Know where the nearest Fire Hydrant to their property and (b) that the Fire Hydrant is unobstructed.
​
The Fire Hydrant many be in your driveway, or in your lawn. Please DO NOT park cars or grow a lawn or put large plat pots over the top of the Fire Hydrant. I know that the yellow SQUARE Hydrant flap is not the most good looking thing (if the flap is round not square then this a a sewage vent !) but please do not HIDE them.
​
Finally anything that property owners can do to ensure that the Fire Hydrant points are clearly visible and accessible will greatly assist the Fire Services. If its your house on fire you will be hoping the Fire Services can find the Hydrants quickly.

Things to help you locate your Fire Hydrant.
Keep an eye out for signs like the ones shown above — they may be attached to a fence, post, or power pole. The number at the top indicates the distance (in metres) from the sign to the fire hydrant. To locate the hydrant, stand with your back to the sign and walk the indicated number of metres straight ahead.
​
A red "P" means the hydrant is located on a path, driveway, or in a garden. A red "R" indicates it is in the road. Most hydrants in Pearl Beach are located on private property — in gardens, driveways, or on footpaths.
​
You should also see a blue cat’s eye reflector and a yellow arrow or stripe painted on the road, marking the hydrant’s exact position. However, some of these markings have faded or disappeared due to road wear and tear. The Central Coast Council has begun replacing these road markings, and the Pearl Beach Progress Association, together with the local RFS, is actively working to improve visibility and accessibility of fire hydrant locations.
