GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English translation:fire hydrant point

Tech/Engineering - Real Estate
German term or phrase: Feuerwehranschluss
List of operating costs in a commercial lease agreement:

Kosten der Überprüfung und Wartung der Brandschutzanlagen und des Feuerwehranschlusses

I googled it and found a picture of the Anschluß. From what I see, it appears to be a box installed in the vicinity of buildings to which the fire brigade can attach its hoses and other devices. But I still have no clue what it could mean in English. Can anyone clue me up? :-) TIA
