#1 "NOT IN SERVICE" Fire Hydrant
Location: Carpenter St. & 3rd Av., E/s
The motto of our nation's fire service is "To Save Lives And Protect Property."
"Though most jurisdictions test 20 percent of their hydrants each year, Carmel hadn’t conducted flow tests since 1995, according to Fire Chief Andrew Miller."
"In Pacific Grove, where Miller is the fulltime chief (Carmel contracts for some PGFD services, including his), they test hydrants every year and have addressed problems as they arise."

These 6 “NOT IN SERVICE” Orange Bagged Fire Hydrants from Carpenter St. & 3rd Av., extending south to Forest Rd. & 8th Av., were “bagged” during the week of 23 October 2006.
