On Tuesday afternoon, a team from the Bulawayo Fire Department was seen inspecting a fire hydrant along 9th and George Silundika Street.
A fire hydrant is a critical connection point that allows firefighters to access a water supply when fighting a fire, making it an essential component of active fire protection.
Unfortunately, many fire hydrants with cast iron covers have been vandalised.
As a result, the fire department sometimes faces difficulties in battling fires, especially when fire engines run out of water.
