Mark Peterson's Hydrant Collection
I live in Clayton, Indiana, and became a Volunteer Firefighter in May 2002, and an EMT in July 2004. I am currently employed by Rural-Metro fire department as a contract firefighter/EMT for Eli-Lilly Indianapolis. I acquired my first hydrant at flea Market and have been hooked ever since. I'm always looking for new hydrants to add to my collection.
