fireplugs
Curbside water sources
Fireplugs are hydrants—the upright pipes along streets that provide water access for firefighting.
The plug part refers to the cap that seals the outlet until a hose is connected.
Fireplug also describes a person who is short and stocky, built like the squat metal fixtures: The new fullback was a fireplug of a man.
