Town of Southington, CT
Figure 112: ISO Fire Hydrant Coverage
When a 1,000-foot ring is placed around each of the fire hydrants on Southington’s water supply system and consolidated together, the Town provides coverage to 88.2% of its road base within the municipal boundaries. Other factors to consider when evaluating water supply are flow rates and capacities, inspections, flow testing, and record keeping.
Resource Concentration Study While most responses within Southington are typically handled by one to two units, some incidents require large numbers of resources and personnel to mitigate the emergency condition and reduce loss safely and effectively. The ability of the Southington Fire Department to effectively deploy multiple units to an incident scene within a timely manner will often make the difference between minor damage and a total loss.
