While driving around our gated community I began to notice these blue plastic reflective plates imbedded in the roadway at random locations. At first I thought they might be checking for speeders. But I learned that the local utility company had provided them gratis and they have been placed adjacent to fire hydrants so that if the fire department is summoned after dark they will note the proximity of the nearest fire hydrant. Other communities might consider similar placement particularly in rural areas to guide the first responders. Just a thought for the day.
