Walking back from our little hike, we spotted some cop cars directing traffic. We decided to check out what was happening and saw this.

A car had hit the fire hydrant knocking it off which caused water to shoot up for some time. Crews worked to try and fix the problem.

I thought this was a cute way of dressing up a hydrant.

De brandweermannen die de Hoogwerker bedienen nemen een aanzetstuk uit de autopomp om aan te sluiten aan een ondergrondse hydrant. Deze moet de straalpijp van de Hoogwerker van water voorzien.

Or whatever they call it. Look at the nice rusty water coming out of that. The fire department guys said their station had around 900 hydrants, and they try to do this once a year on each. That's around 2.5 per day, every day.

First photo of my first monthly theme (motivation to get out in the heat! lol).

I'm going to leave the theme a mystery if anyone wants to try to guess what it is as the days unfold. ;o)

The fire Dept is running a contest for artist to paint a hydrant...All of them will be judged a year from now when the required maintenance is done. (nice way to get out of cleaning house)
