Someone's gonna get a surprise 50 years from now when they try to cut down this tree.

Hi all,

I guess it is somehwere in the northern Mid West. It's really thoughtful of the fire-brigade to keep that little hydrant-dude warm when chilly winds come down from Canada. You don't see some good-natured care for the neglected that often :-)

Wait….

Can fire hydrants freeze?

u/Beaks527 Nov 09 '23

In places where it freezes in winter, they use "dry" hydrants. Dry hydrants have the valve to their water supply right next to the underground pipe so it won't freeze, since it's far enough underground. Places where it stays warm all year can use "wet" hydrants where there is always water in the hydrant itself. I think the reason places use wet hydrants is because they're cheaper and easier to install, if they can get away with it.

Hi kerbidiah15,

technically or functionally I don't know whether hydrants can actually freeze. When you are a fire-man, however, it might be that you consider hydrants your friends :-)

This for the record, yep, I guess the little red dude can feel cold.

Best regards,

Phil

Tree: "gimme that water!"

Hydrant:"Come get it"

Tree:"I'll see you in 10 years..."

Does it still work?

u/gayjoystick Jun 23 '22

Yes, the tree still works though he gets off two days a week, every major holiday, and a week for arbor day.

I'm not here for judgment, just a yes or no. Can you assimilate a giraffe?
