Cap Your Way to a Refreshing Spray Shower

With hot and humid weather in the forecast this week, many New Yorkers will be tempted to cool off in a fire hydrant spray shower. Opening fire hydrants without spray caps (also called sprinkler caps) wastes 1000 gallons of water per minute and can hamper firefighters' ability to fight fires. So if you plan to use a hydrant to stay cool, be sure to use a spray cap. Contact your local firehouse to obtain one (call 311 to locate your nearest firehouse).
