It's fitting to end Fire Protection month with a collage of various fire hydrants located in Quincy. Their colors correspond to the size of the pipe they are attached to. The red ones are designated for commercial building use.

This old fire apparatus was used to fight fires in Quincy and is now on display in the lobby of the National Fire Protection Association. It is an 1845 Hunneman Hand Tub appropriately named "Granite." The inscription on the front and back reads: "We Come & We Conquer".

It's nice to see the Fire Lane is respected at the National Fire Protection Headquarters. I also like the red fire alarm box.
