This manhole is actually a cover for a "hydrant" of sorts. Apparently they firemen have a tap under the cover, which takes a lot less real estate than an American hydrant. I noticed one near my home with no parking written all about it. Quite a shame if the firemen couldn't save you because you parked over the hydrant.
EFFD, Engine 1-5-1 is hooked up to the Hydrant to provide water for hose operations inside the target building
On Friday March 19th West Babylon responded to a Signal 13, upon arrival the chief called for mutual aid from East Farmingdale, Lindenhurst, North Babylon and Wyndanch, the structure fire was knocked down with in 10 minutes as crews worked to vent the roof and remove all items that were involved, a good job to all companies that responded your training has once again payed off, hats off to your efforts keeping the community safe.

Close to where I-88 and winfield cross in Warrenville, there are a number of fire hydrants sporting this... whatever it is. At first (as it was before halloween) I though perhaps this is the equivalent of a ghost costume for a fire hydrant. Now it is long past Halloween and they are still there. I called the fire department - then the city, and the county. No one seemed to know what is going on. So - I'll put forth the following totally made up story... These fire hydrants sporting these red "bed sheet" costumes are hiding their fragile egos as they spew hate and advocate violence against non-red fire hydrants. You'd think in 2016 we would have moved beyond this - but evidently we haven't.
found some kids playing with an opened fire hydrant - this one was using a tin can to direct the spray at cars and people across the street
I haven't really looked closely at hydrants in a while. They might be my newest obsession. I saw one on Robert street being painted orange and yellow, there are sometimes strange fixtures attached to them, and they are full of little mechanical doodads. Very interesting overlooked objects indeed.
My wife took this picture of a broken Hydrant during the recent heavy rains in Los Angeles.--

After a conference in Ettalong Beach, New South Wales Central Coast, I spent an afternoon with some New Zealand customers strolling around Woy Woy.
I saw this fire hydrant, which looks different probably because it was designed for the large Woolworth building and carpark.
More pictures from Woy Woy coming soon.

This is my first attempt at HDR that I thought turned out half way decent - I never even saved previous efforts. I used the free version of Photomatix which leaves watermarks on the final image. I removed all three in Photoshop...can you guess where they were?
This fire hydrant isn't close to any buildings...I guess it's there for future construction.
This is my entry for Picture That week 3 theme "Grass is greener..."
Grass is greener... with HDR and lots of water from a fire hydrant.
During a map check stop on a trike ride I was intrigued by the lonely appearance of this fire hydrant. This is in the Maricopa Meadows housing area of Maricopa.
