For posts on all structures such as temples, churches and building I have come across, go here.
Prologue: A series that showcases the large statues, beautiful temples and churches I visit in my travels or I accidentally come across while taking an off-beaten path. And sometimes yes, I would include buildings and palaces too.
What’s with all the Blue Fire Hydrants we saw across all over Cape Cod? Regular fire hydrants I see are all Red colored. Well, turns out there is a slew of colors the fire hydrants are painted based on maintenance, safety and the amount of water (gallons per minute) flows thru them. Turns out Cape Cod has the highest capacity, so we see more Blue colored fire hydrants there. We saw other colors too though.
Here is how the color codes mean
Red Fire Hydrants: Indicate a water-flow capacity of fewer than 500 gallons per minute.
Orange Fire Hydrants: Indicate a water-flow capacity of 500 to 999 gallons per minute.
Green Fire Hydrants: Indicate a water-flow capacity of 1,000 to 1,499 gallons per minute.
Blue Fire Hydrants: Indicate a water-flow capacity of 1,500+ gallons per minute.
Yellow Fire Hydrants: Indicate the water comes from a public supply system.
Violet Fire Hydrants: Indicate the water source is non-potable. This water usually comes from lakes or ponds but can be used to put out fires.
