Thank you, Ian and Joey! I figured out the trick to import hydrants; instead of "amenity" =, I used the terminology from OSM which was "emergency" = "fire_hydrant". Voila!

Not yet. There's a page dedicated to Urban Sprints but files weren't sent yet (afaik) and now I'm traveling without a PC. When files are added they will live at https://www.dvoa.org/urban-sprints
