Dalmatian Fire Hydrant work of two Columbia artists Columbia Woman's Club Members Vonnie Kolbenschlag and Darlene Campbell fess up to being phantom artists improving the community. Water department gave permission for the work. It was legal, in fact. The Dalmatian has a long, special relationship with fire departments. Click on headline for full story with photo(s) Vonnie Kolbenschlag Darlene Campbell and I painted the hydrant with the consent of Lenny Stone and the water department. I'm glad you like it and we like the idea of bringing a smile to passersby. Darlene and I are both members of the Columbia Woman's Club and one of our club's priorities is improving our community. The Dalmatian is thought to originate in Dalmatia in the Republic of Croatia. It was brought to England and used as a carriage dog. Firefighting at that time was with horse drawn wagons, an easy transfer from the carriage. The dogs cleared the way for the pumpers by running beside them and nipping the horses' feet to make them go faster. Horses were afraid of fire and the Dalmatian was a distraction to the horses allowing firefighters to get closer to the fire. The dogs also guarded the equipment in the wagon while the firemen were battling the fire. These dogs also had great ability to catch and kill rats, an asset to a firehouse. Horses could easily identify the Dalmatian from other dogs, so Dalmatians were kept in service by being fire house dogs. - Vonnie Kolbenschlag Comments re photo 46277 Dalmatian Fire Hydrant This story was posted on 2012-08-15 04:22:26
