Hi, thank you for your answer. As can be seen in the picture, the complex has got an open entrance with a service road going through it. There isn't a real gate or barrier to stop vehicles, but from the very start of that road the area is private and military. Which way tags should I use to

i know we can't handle everything, but i have been collecting color information as potentially useful for emergency response (i'm seeing a couple of different solid colors on hydrants out there). i looked at a couple of dry hydrants yesterday and guess what - red white stripes. maybe
