Fire Hydrant Management Software

Map and manage every hydrant in your jurisdiction

What is Fire Hydrant Management Software?

Fire hydrants are critical infrastructure, but many departments track them with paper records, spreadsheets, or not at all. Station Boss hydrant management puts every hydrant on a searchable, interactive map with complete inspection and maintenance histories.

Each hydrant record includes GPS location, make and model, installation date, last inspection, flow test results, and current status. The map view color-codes hydrants by flow rate, status, or inspection compliance so crews and officers can see the water supply picture at a glance during pre-planning and response.

Flow test records, maintenance work, and inspection results are logged against each hydrant with timestamps and responsible personnel. When a hydrant is out of service, the map updates immediately so responding units know before they arrive on scene.

Key Capabilities

Interactive Hydrant Map

Every hydrant plotted on an interactive map with color coding by flow rate, status, or inspection compliance. Zoom, filter, and click for details.

Flow Test Records

Log static pressure, residual pressure, and flow rate from hydrant flow tests. Historical data shows performance trends over time.

Inspection Tracking

Schedule and track hydrant inspections. Record conditions, maintenance performed, and issues found during each inspection.

Out-of-Service Alerts

When a hydrant is marked out of service, the map updates immediately and nearby units are aware during response.

Benefits

  • Situational Awareness

    Responding crews see hydrant locations, flow rates, and status on the map before arriving on scene.

  • ISO Documentation

    Complete hydrant records with flow test data and inspection history satisfy ISO water supply documentation requirements.

  • Proactive Maintenance

    Inspection schedules and condition tracking ensure hydrants are maintained before they fail when needed most.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Import or Add Hydrants

    Import hydrant locations from GIS data or add them individually with GPS coordinates, specifications, and installation details.

  2. 2

    Schedule Inspections

    Set inspection frequencies and assign hydrant zones to crews or inspectors.

  3. 3

    Inspect and Test

    Crews record inspections and flow test results in the field from a mobile device. Data syncs immediately.

  4. 4

    Monitor and Report

    Review hydrant status on the map, generate ISO reports, and track maintenance needs across the entire system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I import hydrant locations from GIS?
Yes. Station Boss supports importing hydrant data from CSV files including GIS coordinates, specifications, and identification numbers.
Does the map show flow rates?
Yes. Hydrants can be color-coded by flow rate category so crews can quickly identify water supply capabilities in any area.
Can water utilities update hydrant records?
Currently, hydrant records are managed by department personnel. The system supports bulk updates via import for data shared by water utilities.
