Send us a textSometimes we overlook the simple things in our lives that protect us. In this episode I want to look at the story behind the story of one such common place fixture throughout the US and other countries throughout the world. It is a single solitary fire hydrant that saved the day during the raging fires following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.Reference: FireRescue 1 (https://www.firerescue1.com)Historic Marker Database (https://www.hmdb.org)I invite you to share this podcast with others.
