[Scan-DC] Dig out your fire hydrants!/ More thoughts

[odyslim at comcast.net]

Here in the Maryland suburbs, one can be in 4 counties within 10 minutes. 
Howard Co is yellow, AA is Red I forget the others but remember some here in 
town being painted white lately. How smart is that! Oh, and the Fancy stainless
steel ones dont show up very well either

Regards, Scott. 
W3CV, AA Co. MD

Some hydrants that are tied to building sprinkler systems/alarm systems have red and white whip antennas on them... I've always been curious about how that system works, but I believe that if the hydrant is opened it will trip the fire alarm... seems to me I remember once where a landscaper or pool contractor opened one of those hydrants somewhere and set off an alarm that called the FD...
