Water main outlet for use in fighting fires (7)

I believe the answer is:

hydrant

(Other definitions for hydrant that I've seen before include "Pipe on the street for the fire brigade" , "Outlet from water main for connecting to hoses" , "Standing water pipe" , "Main connection" , "Water source" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
