Williamsport fire hydrants getting fresh coats of paint

Throughout the summer, city firefighters have been painting the city’s estimated 400-plus hydrants to give them a fresh look. The chore is more than half done. Firefighters try to paint as many as eight to 10 hydrants a day. Here, firefighters Josh Neuhard, left, and Richonne Johnson put the finishing touches of a new coat of paint on a hydrant outside UPMC Williamsport on High Street Tuesday before moving on to the next one.
