Some time ago I promised I will contribute to the Birdsill Holly Society, a group started by MR.TRONA. I have been looking for my hydrant ever since. Yesterday I found it.

i've never actually seen one in real life like this... only in the movie where it shoots up like 30 ft in the air!

I learned something today! As I was taking photos of these fire hydrants, our mayor stopped by and we talked. He explained to me that the different colors on hydrants represented the amount of pressure at that hydrant! Blue hydrants have the most pressure, at 500 lbs. The black hydrants in our town are dead; replaced when they installed a new water system. At the time this was done (years ago), the old hydrants were not removed and now caused confusion for the firefighters. Our present mayor solved this problem by having all 25 of the dry hydrants in our town painted black!
