Each year, we seek volunteers to help us keep the fire hydrants throughout Meridian looking good. The bright red color is not only iconic, it serves an important purpose, allowing firefighters to easily identify the nearest hydrant in an emergency situation. Our volunteers have ranged from seniors in high school to senior citizens, from Boy Scouts to retired couples with extra time in their day. If you are interested in getting on this summer's paint crew, please contact at 208-888-5242.
