See a picture of the only fire hydrant that I have been able to find in my neighborhood, Madre Vieja Norte San Cristobal.

The chance of any water coming out of that seems pretty low.
Good question to ask is why so few fire hydrants in the DR. Now that I think of it in the neighborhood in Santiago where my mom lives in I did not see any. Perhaps because of the materials used to make homes are fire retartant or something. I'm sure some members living on the island might have an answer.:ermm:
Ps link is hilarious.
