In Vancouver hydrants are red but some are painted a different colour on the top. I have no idea what that might designate.
There are blue hydrants which are connected to a separate system recently installed for use in the event of an earthquake. I'm not certain but I think that system probably pumps water out of False Creek or the ocean.

I would like to, but our fire hydrant are very un-photogenic.
We're having difficulty just finding our fire hydrants under all the snow we've been getting. Maybe when spring finally arrives . . .
Lovely hydrant photos, all three of them. Is red the standard color in Vancouver?

This one is certainly noticiable. and tall! I find it interesting to see the variations in design from one city to another.
