It is illegal to open fire hydrants for recreational use and doing so can significantly reduce water pressure, meaning that firefighters trying to control a fire in another neighborhood may not have enough water and home and businesses may experience a loss of water pressure.
Prying open hydrants can damage the hydrants so that firefighters cannot use them later. Opening hydrants can also create a high pressure blast of water that can injure the person opening the hydrant and anyone standing nearby, particularly small children. Open hydrants also create unsafe conditions for drivers and pedestrians.
Camden residents who see an illegally opened fire hydrant should immediately report it to police by calling our tip line at (856) 757-7042 or dialing 911.
