    Another fun fact about hydrants in cities like New York - different hydrants provide different volumes of water. Some may provide 100 gallons of water per minute while others may provide 10000. The color that the hydrant is painted tells fire fighters what it’s capacity is.

    That’s pretty cool to know. I remember the rare occasion when a fire hydrant was open, it became a neighborhood event on par with a holiday. Good times!

    However you need to apply with form FH13B, with supporting information forms SI55, SI92 and SI12B2. Two years later they will get back to you telling you that you didn’t fully answer question 63.b.iii and must re-submit the request in full.
