I like the idea of painting all the fire hydrants orange

We can call them our beautiful drumpf statues to always remember how close we came to utter disaster.

Hydrant colors have specific meanings to fire departments on how much water they can flow, that is why you see different colors on tops and caps. That lets them know how much water the one is capable of flowing so they know if it is the right one to hook to.

Repainting them at random can hamper their ability to fight fires and possibly endanger lives.
