Around Halloween, my two year old was into all things firefighter related. My wife and I found him an excellent firefighter costume for Halloween and wanted something that matched. Dalmatian dog outfits were a natural extension and easy to find. I wanted something a little more unique, though. My son loved fire hydrants and would always be fascinated when we walked near one. I searched for a fire hydrant costume online but all were either poor quality, expensive, or just silly so I decided to make my own.
