New Fire Hydrant Colors to Improve Firefighter Operations

Have you ever wondered what the different colors mean on the fire hydrants in Medford, or recently noticed new silver hydrants? We’ve partnered with Medford Fire Department to color-code hydrants to improve firefighter operations and public safety.

The color-coding will represent the water flow available at each hydrant. The change will take place over time as part of the normal cycle of repainting fire hydrants over the coming years; learn more at bit.ly/3XLjZFW.
