While you are shoveling snow, please help your community and Prince William County Fire & Rescue System by clearing three feet of space around hydrants and ensuring it is visible to the street. This prevents damage to hydrants, and you could save a life!

I learned today that modern fire hydrants are designed to simply snap off if they're hit by a car. The valves are well below the ground surface, so no water is spilled if the hydrant breaks off - unlike older hydrants.

Taking a break right now. A good day so far. I will post something from time to time.
Thinking of going swimming. The high school girls start swim practices today. Have a great day! #StayCool, #Heatwave , #FireHydrants, #StreetArt, #Swim, #MiniMurals, #SummerSongs

Standing fire hydrants are tough if you’re steadying yourself with your hand on a chair or against a wall. They’re a whole new level of challenging if you force yourself to balance while you do them. #agingshouldntsuck #afriendlynudge #exercisesnacks #firehydrants #glutes
Three red fire hydrant connections, each labeled for a specific zone, have brass fittings and are positioned in front of a gray wall. Each hydrant has a small white sign at its base indicating its zone: "LOW ZONE," "HIGH ZONE," and "FILL TANK." Above the hydrants, a sign in Thai and English reads "หัวรับน้ำดับเพลิง FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTION." The ground around the hydrants is covered with small gray gravel. These connections are part of a building's fire suppression system, allowing firefighters to connect their hoses and pump water to extinguish fires within the structure.
Thinking of doing a series on fire hydrants. I suppose these standpipes would be hydrant adjacent?

So many lonely fire hydrants. NYC's public cemetery, Hart Island, once featured buildings (schools, jails, halfway house) and had an infrastructure to support it. Now it has only fire hydrants admit the fields of mass graves and trees. #photography #firehydrants #cemetary

They are now blaming #rainbow #firehydrants for the fires on #LA. SMH, the right will find anything to blame on the #fires there and attack the #LGBTQ community.
First, of course, sending every sympathy to Angelenos.
But I'm confused by reports that there was no water 'in' the #firehydrants & that residents have been volunteering to 'fill' them, themselves.
As a non-American, I always assumed that they were attached to mains water. How do they work, pls?
Why #firehydrants ran dry as #firefighters battled #California deadly fires. The water system that supplies neighborhoods simply doesn’t have the capacity to deliver such large volumes of water over several hours www.latimes.com/environment/...
Reminder #Firehydrants ran dry under #vicepresidenttrump. See Tubbs, Dixie, and Woosley Fires in #California. Also, in #Colorado in 2018 the fire hydrants ran dry multiple times during the summer's 1,585 fires which burned 430,000 acres and 450 homes. That's what happens... laist.com/news/climate...
Overhead shots of all of the different fire hydrants in our neighborhood. I loved all of the colors.
Sometimes a change of perspective makes all the difference in the world. #firehydrants #streetphotography #pattern #photo #photographer #color #abstract #circles #texture #photosky #bluesky
