HighGnoller on October 7, 2025 3:08 am There is a level of irony, and not the funny kind, for the patent for a fire hydrant of all things to be lost in an office fire.

opheliainthedeep on October 7, 2025 3:46 am You know what I just realized? It’s called a fire hydrant cuz it hydrates the fire.
LocalMountain9690 on October 7, 2025 3:59 am This is false. Frederick Gaff patented the first above-ground fire hydrant in 1801 Fun fact: Gaff’s father apparently let Jefferson rent a room of his, where he then wrote the Declaration of Independence!
