The Creative Fire Hydrants of McBride


     The Village of McBride has some unique fire hydrants.  Because we see them all of the time, we forget how unusual they are.  They were given this interesting look back in 2007 when the Whistlestop Gallery commissioned a creative young woman, Bryony Griffiths to do what she could to liven them up.  As you can see, she did an amazing job.

    I assume that there is no law governing the color of fire hydrants that apply to McBride.   It is such a small village, I am sure our volunteer fire department knows exactly where all of the hydrants are.   I find our characterized fire hydrants very clever.   Bryony sure was sure creative  in painting them.

    The one of Snoopy the Red Baron is located at the airfield.
