What is Hydrant Hysteria?
Hydrant Hysteria is a fast-paced competition where two-member teams assemble a specific water hydrant as quickly as possible.
- The Competition is a measure of the team’s skill at assembling a hydrant quickly, totally and accurately. All parts will be assembled in the proper manner and their assembled hydrant shall be tested by the judges for its ability to operate correctly.
