Day 14: The golden fire hydrant - 1scanaday

**The miraculous hydrant that[ saved San Francisco's Mission District in 1906.](https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-golden-fire-hydrant-san-francisco-california) ** When San Francisco burst into flames in the days following the disastrous 1906 earthquake, much of the city’s network of fire hydrants failed. Miraculously this hydrant, nicknamed “little giant,” is said to have been the only functioning hydrant and is credited with saving the historic Mission District neighborhood from a certain fiery doom. Painted with a fresh coat of gold paint each April 18, the fire hydrant above Dolores Park now stands as a testament to the fire department’s valiant efforts to save the city against almost insurmountable odds.
