must be California, because Bass and Gavin are very confused on water flow, like when the hydrants went dry during the palisades fire, oh yeah the empty reservoirs right at the fire that haven't been repaired for years and were empty
Here's another fun fact,there's a blue reflector on the road in front of every one of them too and silver reflective tape on the hydrant
What color are the California ones that had 0 gallons per minute,during the Cali fires
so....what does yellow mean?...(since they're showing a yellow hydrant)
nyc has black hydrants
What did the white ones mean?
So what is this yellow one, lol?
But, most are yellow? Wtf do those mean?
gallons per minute
tell the firefighters to not slam the hydrant closed. ty
He describes blue, green, orange and red but the camera pans to a Yellow hydrant. Most are yellow where i live…
What do the rainbow color ones mean ?
what about the hydrant in speedway indiana. they are all black and white
never said what yellow means lol
mine is silver what does that mean?
Yeah it’s color coated to the county for what nozzles they have.
I was today's years old😲
I got a dalmatian colored one
Or just look at the size of the caps on the hydrant to determine maximum (large) to minimum(small) water flow and capacity 👍🏻😉
there are also purple
doesn't mean shit in California. they don't work. 🤔
But color coding doesn’t remain accurate if developments increase the demand on the water system. It does give a ballpark reference for fire engineers.
According to some sorces the bonnet (top) and cap colors identify flow. The barrel (body) identify ownership, i.e. yellow is public, red is private.
Unfortunately in my state, all hydrants are yellow, with no other markings. Some towns even have theirs painted like Dalmatians. I even seen one painted to look like SpongeBob bob
Wow that’s a big one 😂
I live in Susquehanna Township Pennsylvania which borders the northern end of Harrisburg. And our hydrants are covered coated the waters. We have two different people two different companies that supply our water
That color is called dog piss yellow
what do the silver ones mean cause all ours are silver
where I live,the blue reflector in the middle of the road means there is a hydrant on the right or left of the road
always wondered. thanks for sharing this information
another fact....Google this......when is it legal for firemen to park in the NO PARKING FIRELANE with no emergency lights on to hang out in Walmart all day everyday......Google it......everytime you see firemen parked in the NO PARKING FIRELANE with no emergency lights on to hang out in Walmart all day everyday they are breaking the law......the law is being broken.

In the state of Indiana the fire department does not mess with fire hydrants.... They are the property of the water company Indiana American Water which takes care of maintenance flushing and repainting if needed
I never thought about it but I would’ve said something dumb as to make them look pretty 🤪
what color black means and what color black and white means?
We have ones that are Silver. So WTH does that mean
Kelly or Matt would have made it more interesting
Thank you for the information.
what about chrome ones?
I love it when I learn.
what if it's silver??
did he not say yellow
Who would’ve thunk it
what about yellow
What county
Pressure.
!!!FIRME!!!
In my neighborhood and the entire side of town we live on. They all are painted white. We naturally assumed this was for appearance purposes due to where we reside.
good to know
Also, the color means if it’s on public property or private property
then what is purple mean😂😂😂
so what does yellow mean 🤔
ya mine is silver
but in CALIFORNIA its Pink and Purple - what does that mean then?
