Just in case



Well, I have no idea what's the name of that thing in English. You find it every 50 meter on the waterside of one of the rivers for the case that someone falls into the water.

  1. The poles and hooks are useful for the unfortunates who tumble in. Red is right to draw us to them when needed...

  4. They remind me of the sticks we have on our fire hydrants, so the fire hydrant won't get hidden in a snowstorm. Not that we've had any big snowstorms in the past ten years, but you never know.

  12. Well, I think it's a pole for reaching out and dragging the drowning person to safety on shore. I think it's used especially when the ice on the water is thin... :)
