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

[Doug Walton]

Check out http://www.firehydrant.org/info/hycolor.html for information on
the NFPA's fire hydrant color coding. It's also to keep the fact that NFPA
is a fire service industry standard (recommendation), but not a law. As
such, not everyone may be playing by NFPA.

IIRC, all the ones in Alexandria have yellow bodies and white tops. The
white part might contain tiny glass beads to make the tops reflectorized.
Hydrants in DC have plates attached, with various colors, I believe, to
denote the rate of water flow.
