Passage 3:
Before there were above ground fire hydrants, as early as the 1600s, fire fighters
would access water by digging down to the water main. They would quickly
make a hole in it and transport the water by way of bucket brigades, or later,
hand pumped fire engines. After putting out the fire, they would plug the hole in
the water main with a stopper, which became known as a fire plug. The first
U.S. above ground hydrant was developed in Philadelphia in 1803, but
underground fire hydrants have been used abroad since at least the 1700s. After
the Great Fire of London of 1666, the city put installed water mains with pre-
drilled holes that were equipped with risers, which allowed access to the fire
plugs from street level. Today in the UK, underground hydrants are indicated
by a yellow sign
bearing the letter "H." For underground hydrants in Finland, such signs are
painted blue. In Australia, underground hydrants
