Massachusetts S1765 mandates that fire hydrants in public and private ways be painted for maximum visibility.
Massachusetts S1765 amends Chapter 148 of the General Laws by adding a new section requiring fire hydrants in the commonwealth to be painted in colors that maximize visibility. These colors must contrast with their surroundings and avoid using white as a primary color, except when used to contrast with the area. This change aims to improve the visibility of fire hydrants, enhancing public safety.
