This is a hydrant in a forest. Maybe the squirrels had it installed to counter the forestry department's new "controlled burn" practices.
I think I need to look harder for something real to blog about. If we don't start meeting people and doing things soon, I might be driven to actually decorate my blog.

Obviously, Smokey the Bear lives somewhere nearby.
Can I have a 360 tour of the region? Seriously, why would there be water lines in the forest? Is there a house nearby? Or perhaps a sub development?
On the more creative side, maybe your fire hydrant is like the one on my blog from last... November? The theory was that some pour soul was turned into a fire hydrant at BYU as punishment for past misdeeds and was now redeeming itself by doing an excellent job - there was no sign of fire in the green grass that grew all around the hydrant.
Maybe one of the squirrels in your story crossed an enchantress and is now being punished. Get a princess to kiss it - maybe it'll turn into a prince.
There are fire hydrants in several locations on the mountainside behind This Is The Place Monument. It seems very strange until one realizes that 50 years ago, the land was supposed to be developed as a suburb, then the city decided it would be left open as a park -- after the fire hydrants (and presumably sewer lines) were put in. There were curbs and gutters in several places as well, but those have been gone for years now.
Perhaps this fire hydrant was something like that?
Or maybe it's there for forest fires.
Or maybe Carolyn's right. Her ideas are more fun anyway.
I have to confess -- the fire hydrant is just behind my apartment. But you have to understand how much I need to find something interesting about this place.
It does become a moment of desperation when all sorts of decorations go up on the blog
