The engine, the crew and the pump

A hydrant in other characters
消火栓 is fire hydrant in Chinese and Japanese, by Wiktionary. Unihan glosses its three characters as die out, fire and peg. ♜ is a chess rook, a squat tower, and this page's pick for a hydrant in one character. The drawings want monospaced text.
=[]= is a hydrant in four keys: a body with a nozzle either side.
Questions and answers
Is there a fire hydrant emoji?
Not by that name. Unicode’s emoji list, version 18.0, has no hydrant, and CLDR files nothing under hose. 🚒💧, Fire engine then Droplet, is the nearest pair.
Why is a fire hydrant called a fireplug?
Wiktionary traces the word to the system used before hydrants: a large plug sat in a hole in the water main and was pulled out when water was needed. Wikipedia lists fireplug as another name for the hydrant.
Is there a fire truck emoji?
Yes. 🚒 is named fire engine, U+1F692, from Emoji 0.6, and CLDR files it under engine, fire and truck. The one word firetruck leads to the three firefighters instead.
