Becoming a doctor requires more training than most other jobs. It usually takes at least 11 years to become a doctor: 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and 3 years working in a hospital. For some specialties, doctors may have to work in a hospital for up to 8 years before they are fully trained.
This requires large volumes of water - between 500 and 1000 gallons per minute - depending on the diameter of the water main. This is why you may see us âflushingâ fire hydrants and letting the water run down the street. This is a standard procedure and the water is dechlorinated to protect the environment.
The color of fire hydrants pertains to how much water pressure they provide, said Andy Ryan, spokesman for Seattle Public Utilities. When it comes to parking, the law treats all fire hydrants the same, whether they're yellow or green. Per Seattle Municipal Code 11.72.160, no one is allowed to park within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant, says Mike Estey, the Seattle Department of Transportation's manager of parking operations and traffic permits. Whether the hydrant is yellow or green, the penalty for parking too close is $42.
