I have one on each floor of the house.

I have split garages, one each FE sits just inside the garage side
doors (hall & kitchen). Also one under the kitchen sink.

Also: I'm on the same block as the fire department.

Those two things give me a discount on my home insurance.

My agent gave a discount on premiums because a fire hydrant was X
number of feet from a home (north and south corners)

Worth checking into.

The ISO (Insurance Standards Organization) does the ratings for this using
manpower, hydrants, equipment, etc. The municipality can request a re-rating
(IIRC) every 6 years. It should be shown on your policy. A paid dept may get
the the lowest -1- while a volunteer may get a 6 (at best).
