Thread: Wow! I had no idea! (fire hydrant color code)

  1. #16
    One day a huge fire truck pulled up, two people got out, and they spraypainted the hydrant next to my house completely white. I don't remember what color(s) it was before.

    The truck sat idling on the curb while they did this. Its exhaust killed about a 3-foot half circle of grass in my front yard.

    I was just going to say that. They are all yellow down here too. Maybe a Michigan code thing?

    Edit: Ah, see Ole explained why. Yellow is probably a lot easier to see in the snow or in the dark.
