1883年,英商在上海租界成立自来水公司,修建自来水厂。随着自来水管线的敷设,消防龙头(消火栓)也应运而生,出现在了上海租界的街道上。从此之后,引自来水救火逐渐取代了传统的消防用水,成为城市消防最重要的水源。自来水和消防龙头的出现,不仅革命性地提高了清末民初城市居民饮用水质量,还使我国的灭火技术前进了一大步。

In 1883, the British businessmen established a water company in Shanghai’s concession to construct a waterworks. With the laying of water pipelines, fire hydrants (hydrants) have also emerged, appeared in the streets of Shanghai concession. Since then, the introduction of firefighting gradually replaced traditional fire fighting water and became the most important water source for urban fire fighting. The emergence of tap water and fire hydrants not only revolutionized the quality of drinking water for urban residents during the late Qing and the early Republican China, but also made our fire fighting technology a big step forward.
