A fire hydrant system has been put in place at the Srirangam Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple to deal with fire. The system has been installed following a fire audit. Water for the operation of the new system would be drawn from the ‘Chandrapushkarani’ using a motor and would pass through pipelines to the hose reel from where it would be sprayed on the fire. Temple authorities said the new fire fighting system has been installed at three places within the huge temple complex - near Karthigai Gopuram; near Keezhapadi in the ‘moolasthana praharam’; and near the ‘chandrapushkarani.’ It has been installed at a cost of ₹ 3.5 lakh using temple funds, said the authorities. A 5HP motor has been installed to draw water.
