Uhhh... Take into account that they are all connected to a pipe network, so they are actually much much larger, they are a city wide grid.

So we live on top of a hydrant hydra?

Hydrants are the fruiting bodies of the water-supply mycelium.

It’s basically a mushroom. The hydrants are the fruit of the water network.

So what happens if we open all fire hydrants at the same time

The pressure in the pipes probably goes down significantly before wherever the water is stored gets empty, in areas that have pumps for it they would probably not be able to keep up at all, wich means that the flow would be super slow as well.
