Brian Griffin Hydrant - Ardmore, OK - Painted Hydrants on Waymarking.com

Not long ago, this was the classic red fire hydrant and it had probably been this way since the 1990s. In 2019, Create Ardmore and the Ardmore Fire Department worked together on a beautification effort in which fire hydrants in the downtown Cultural Arts District -- a comparatively small number compared to the over 1600 hydrants that the Ardmore FD has to maintain throughout the area! -- would be given the glamour treatment. As the Ardmore FD requires that the hydrants have a specific color cap -- red, orange, green or blue -- to indicate how much water pressure each tank has behind it, they did the priming work, leaving local volunteers to use their imaginations and minimal guidelines in the effort.

The hydrant is mostly white, with an orange cap with Brian's black shades, and Brian's eyes, ears, tail, and crossed arms are black. The front outlet cap -- Brian's nose -- is also black, while his red collar goes completely around the hydrant, and it's trimmed in black. Note how the artist incorporated the cap chain into the collar, with part of it painted gold to represent Brian's collar tag.
