These early public water hydrants or bornes fontaines frequently had a fire hose outlet making them true fire hydrants.

On the hydrant shown on this page, an outlet and valve is hidden behind a locking hinged access door; the valve stem and hose outlet are inside the hydrant.

Ces premières fontaines publiques d'eau ou bornes fontaines avaient souvent un tuyau d'incendie qui en faisait de véritables bornes d'incendie

Sur la bouche d'incendie montrée sur cette page, une sortie et une valve sont cachées derrière une porte verrouillable à charnière; la tige de la vanne et la sortie du tuyau sont à l'intérieur de la bouche d'incendie.
