These days fire hydrants are identified using a yellow plate with a black H on it. The original signs are useful when trying to locate the valves and hydrants under snow!!watermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07038207280655847145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940226192800721137.post-52090010995890846582012-06-21T14:59:05.280+01:002012-06-21T14:59:05.280+01:00How about H horizontal V vertical ??How about H horizontal V vertical ??Petrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694461938712095111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2940226192800721137.post-26560956355348458552012-06-21T14:57:54.526+01:002012-06-21T14:57:54.526+01:00These may be to do with the source of a water supp...These may be to do with the source of a water supply for use by the Fire Brigade in the event of a fire.
