Michael J. Vacanti's Fire Hydrant Collection
Mike started collecting fire hydrants in September 2002. He can be contacted at fireplug@hydrantpark.com

"Being very active as a fire warden, member of the fire dept, emergency squad and county haz-mat team I thought it neat to get a few of the different hydrants in town that were being replaced. I am starting my own outdoor collection in western NY of hydrants and have my own website, 'Hydrant Park' ".
