The term "fire plug" dates from the early 1800s,

when water mains were made from wood.

Firefighters used the bucket brigade or hand

pumping systems to get the water to extinguish fires.

They had to dig a hole in the main, in order to

retrieve water. The firefighters would pass buckets

of water from the hole along a line of firefighters to

help get water to the fire. The term “fire plugs”

began to be used, since the newly dug holes had to

be plugged up after the fire call.
