No doubt you have noticed the fire hydrants in the South Central Peninsula are sporting a new color.
The tops are blue and Acting District Chief Richard Marks tells CHSJ News, this is a new regulation from the National Fire Protection Association.
Marks says the light blue hydrants let fire-fighters know they can expect over 5600 litres a minute when battling a blaze.
The other colors in order of water pressure are green, orange, and red.
