COLOR-CODED FIRE HYDRANTS

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends fire hydrants be colored chrome yellow for rapid identification apart from the bonnet and nozzle caps which should be coded according to their available flow. Color coding the hydrant tops and caps lets firefighters know how much water is available from the closest hydrant so that they can select the appropriate size hose lines for the size and complexity of the fire. This information is known as “available flow”. The coding colors are as follows:

BLUE	1500 GPM or more	Very good flows
GREEN	1000-1499 GPM	Good for residential areas
ORANGE	500-999 GPM	Marginally adequate
RED	Below 500 GPM	Inadequate

THE HASKELL FREE LIBRARY AND OPERA HOUSE

The Haskell Free Library and Opera House is a neoclassical building that straddles the international border in Stanstead, Quebec and Derby Line, Vermont. The Haskell Free Library and Opera House was a gift from Mrs. Martha Stewart Haskell and her son Col. Horace "Stewart" Haskell. It was built in memory of her parents Catherine and Horace Stewart and her husband Carlos Freeman Haskell. The Haskell’s wanted Canadians and Americans to have equal access to the Library and Opera House so they chose to build on the border. Construction began in 1901 and the Opera House opened in 1904 and the Library in 1905. The library has two different addresses; 93 Caswell Avenue, Derby Line, Vermont, and 1 rue Church (Church Street), Stanstead, Quebec. ·         A thick black line runs beneath the seats of the opera house and diagonally across the center of the library’s reading room to mark the Canada-U.S. border. ·         The library collection, and the opera stage are both located in Stanstead, but the main entrance and most opera seats are located in Derby Line. Because of this, The Haskell is sometimes called “the only library in the U.S. with no books” and “the only opera house in the U.S. with no stage”. ·         There is no entrance from Canada, however, three is an emergency exit on the Canadian side of the building. ·         All patrons and visitors must use the U.S. entrance to access the building. ·         Patrons from Canada are permitted to enter the U.S. door without needing to report to customs, providing they return to Canada immediately upon leaving the building.
