Flames Hydrant - Ardmore, OK - Painted Hydrants on Waymarking.com

This hydrant was previously painted completely red, and 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.

Interestingly, the hydrant now has an orange cap, and a bit of the red standpipe is showing. Since the pattern is that of flames, of course, the colors are red, yellow, and orange, with some black primarily on the side outlet caps. While the chain is primarily black as well, a close look shows that the artist added some bits of the other colors as detail.
