Ah, the fire hydrant. Coated in multiple layers of peeling paint, visited by all the dogs in the neighborhood, cracked open when copious amounts of water is needed, they are icons of steadfast resourcefulness. When a fire truck needs to get water onto a burning house, the hydrant is there. When the temperature is hot enough to cause the devil to head back to the house, the hydrant is there. When Jim down the street wants to fill his brand-new pool in a freaking hurry and doesn’t want to leave his garden hose on for the next week, the hydrant is there. And when that moron kid who thinks he’ll be the next TikTok star by drifting some clapped-out Nissan won’t stop putting on drift clinics in the cul-de-sac, hopefully the hydrant will be there.

Typically, the water that will come blasting out of a fire hydrant will be at about 50 PSI, give or take depending on location and what water source the hydrant is hooked to. 60,000 PSI of water can flow out of a hydrant, however…as the jet blast rips through one end and out of the other! You want to see what the power of water is like sped up into time that humans can comprehend? Check just how well this waterjet rips through this old fireplug…it takes quite a bit of time, but in the end the waterjet will dissect this hydrant as if it was made of soft cheese.
