Fresh Fire Hydrant





I missed the actual installation. But look at this brand new Fire Hydrant. It’s also known as a Fire Plug, and I guess the long riser pipe attached to the hydrant does “plug” into the municipal water supply. I just dug the image. We take the things for granted; we never see what is beneath a fire hydrant. Okay, I’ve ranted about the reason for this sidewalk deconstruction, but now that it nears completion, I have to applaud. I wonder when the last time was that Christopher Columbus got a new Fire Plug. Just in time for the neighborhood kids to use it as a sprinkler this summer. I wonder which of the local dogs will raise his leg to our fresh fire hydrant.
