I’ve seen yellow fire hydrants before. I’ve seen red ones too. We’ve blogged about different types of red hydrants too, right here on chickenmonkeydog.
But are there other colors too? Is there some sort of unwritten rule in America that fire hydrants must be red or yellow? I appreciate the value of visual consistency for firefighters in emergency situations, but where and when did the U.S. decided to use red and yellow?
What color are hydrants in other countries?
I feel like I have seen a fire hydrant or two painted in a mural-like style. Not a ton of times but at least a few over the years in the USA.
Anyone else?
