Red.. Or yellow? I think there's enough red.. But I know there's enough yellow.. So if I look-your awakening instincts here, okay? We you please just paint the snow hydrant color?!!!
Today … I’m gonna be in infocational… Toronto, among other Ontario cities including Ottawa, Kingston and Hamilton, began colour-coding its fire hydrants in 2000. Each hydrant has a bonnet, or nozzle cap, that is painted blue, green, orange or red to alert firefighters about how much water flow per second is available from each hydrant. They then use this information to determine what size of hose to use, and how many hoses are needed for a given fire..Blue hydrants can move the largest volume of water, able to pump out 95 litres per second, while a red hydrant is the weakest, only able to pump less than 31 litres a second. Green and orange hydrants fall in the middle ground, with the former able to dispense between 63 and 95 litres per second and the latter pumps between 31 and 63 litres per second. The remainder of the hydrant, or the barrel, is painted yellow, though red hydrant barrels can still be seen around Toronto despite the uniform code.
Just paint it already, so Louie can get about “his business”. :-D
Good evening Crew! Allan that was interesting, thank you. Like judepew, I learned something new. And it makes sense and I am sure, saves the firefighters some time in their duties. We have had fires here, up the road, and as I live on a hill, and the hydrant is at the bottom of it, they sometimes run out of water because of said hill. Thank goodness there is a creek not too far away which they have had to utilize more than once.

Most people don’t have a problem when choosing between Mustard and Catchup.

Or, Nate could just leave his work of art white, and then let Louie at it. Y’know—for efficiency’s sake.
Good Evening, Crew.
