On April 19th, 1906, this hydrant, now known as The Little Giants, was found to have water. A hose lead was made, and the water supply from this hydrant has been credited with stopping the conflagration from advancing any further into the Mission district.
Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White will begin the annual hydrant painting. Everyone present will be invited to join in with the painting of this famous hydrant. There will be civic ceremonies and a special horse drawn steam engine presentation.
The hydrant is on the corner of 20th and Church.
