Fire Hydrant Manager 4+

The app we need, but doesn’t work

We desperately need an app like this in 2023, to be aware of our infrastructure & lobby/pay for better provisions if need be, in this era of persistent woodland burning, but sadly, the app does not work. 1) It would not display any hydrants near me, even in the nearest very large city, 2) it crashed constantly. Really wish this worked because amazingly I can’t find anything like it & it’s hard data to come across even on our county GIS map.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback. Our system is dependent on your local fire department using our service so that we can provide the most accurate information to our users. Ask your local fire department to sign up or contact us to add the fire hydrants. This will allow us to display which fire hydrants are in and out of service and which ones have sufficient flow in case of an emergency.

With Residential Mode, you can add fire hydrants near your home and report issues, but your department would need to be using our service to get those reports.

Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns. You can also provide us with the city and we can reach out to your local fire department to obtain the fire hydrant data.

UPDATE SEP 10
Hello again! Wanted to give a quick update, we have a version in the the review process that now searches outside sources to provide more fire hydrant locations, so you should see them once the update is published.

App doesn’t work

After I paid for the app to locate a fire hydrant near me, the app did not work. You cannot look for a fire hydrate you can only add them, but I’m paying for the service, but I’m the one that’s supposed to add them into the app that makes no sense. I normally don’t leave review but don’t buy this app. Don’t download. It is pointless. It’s just taking your money

Developer Response ,

Before you purchase the upgrade, we clearly explain that your location may not have fire hydrants that are in our system or may not possibly be found by a 3rd party service. We also have a list all of the cities we have in our service on our website. Please read thoroughly before you make a purchase.

Our app also allows you to add a fire hydrant so that you can perform tasks such as distance calculations and reporting. You are not obligated to add a fire hydrant as you expressed.

Our app has helped many first responders so your statement on it being pointless is absolutely false and contradicted by these first responders.

As far as “taking your money”, you are entitled to a refund from Apple.

Literally does nothing.

I downloaded the app and got a monthly subscription for $6.99, expecting that there would actually be something that shows up. Nothing at all. Even when searching for a fire department using my home address, shows nothing found. Cancelled the subscription.
