Notes from a Rookie Firefighter...February 19, 2011

 

Today I learned that you can't have a ferris wheel in the same parking lot as a building with solar panels. I don't know why though.

 

Also, how come the tops of fire hydrants are painted white (the bottom are red) and not flourescent colored paint?

I think I know the answer. lol In some jurisdictions, the color of the caps indicate the size of the line feeding it, or how much output the hydrant will deliver. Can't remember the specifics of that though.
oh, and by the way, you really are hooked on hydrants huh? lol
