What color are the fire hydrants where you live?

Most of them are red or yellow, but every once in a while, you'll see one custom painted. One in the next neighborhood over is painted like a dalmation.

Don't recall. I'd have to look and I'm not feeling like it.

The hydrants around here are red as well and this is Kremmling, Colorado

Most of them are red, but I've seen yellow and orange ones too.

Ours is red in Spartanburg but I think I have seen bright orange ones before.

Red.
I was in some community a few years back where they had the school kids paint them all different colours. One was spotted like a dalmation. Good for the kids to raise awareness about the hydrants but very bad otherwise. They need to be seen and in a hurry by firemen and other vehicles not to block them when they park. I thought it was a pretty lame stupid decision for someone to make. Not well thoght out.

Green tops but a silver body..I believe

You know, I'm not sure. I think they're either red or yellow, or maybe both. I'll have to check next time I go out.

Other - I know what one is, but we don't have them where I live.

Mostly red or yellow, but there are a few on the U of O campus that have been decorated in a multitude of designs & colors.

I'm not sure if my town has any... Where I grew up they were red (I think), then they painted them blue. It was very exciting.

Most are red. I've seen yellow ones, but not as many.

Red with green caps. Some departments have different colours for the amount of water the hydrant can provide, which is why in some towns you may find different colour combinations on the hydrants.

Red

Fire hydrents are mostly red where I live.

And of course they might turn yellow after a dog pees on them

There are no fire hydrants where we live.

White with blue tops and caps (whatever you call those connectors on the side) -- except for this ONE fire hydrant. This particular one is painted gold and it gets a new coat of gold paint each year on the anniversary of SF's 1906 quake/fire. The story goes that in this neighborhood the fire was fast approaching and when firefighters ran to this hydrant they found it was still working, and they were able to stop the fire from spreading any further.

Yellow.
I'd like to see a pink one.

Yellow

That's interesting, Otter. I wonder if that holds true with most departments? I'll have to ask the next time I'm at the firehall for a pancake breakfast!

red, yellow, blue... Some are painted funny...

I don't think I've ever seen a fire hydrant in Scotland.

Unless I haven't been paying attention, it seems to me that they are all red.

I'm thinking yellow, but can't say for sure.

We don't have any fire hydrants here

Where do the firemen get the water to put out a fire?

From water mains, which are laid in the street. As far as I know... Although I think there are some places in Australia with fire hydrants. I'd have to check further, I could be making this all up for all I know! ;)

Red with yellow hats.

There are no fire hydrants here.

The ones where I live are blue. I believe it is because of the local high school colors.
