Fire Hydrants

One wonders how the first one got located in what is now the middle of the sidewalk.

The second is due both to placement on a sloped yard and owner lack of upkeep.

What were they thinking?

Looking at the age of the first one, there probably weren't the poles installed when the hydrant had been installed.

Great pics. Locations?

Hi OG,

Both are in NE Portland. I think the first is at 82nd and Prescott. The other is someplace on San Rafael.

I think you're right that the first one was installed when things were different. Probably the slope was bare when the second one was installed.

They both have me paying more attention to fire hydrants now. Heh.

Max, undoubtedly our new dog, his walks and interest in fire hydrants has piqued my interest too. Heh.
