Activities related to fire hydrants are not a proper utility. They are mostly related to utility=water when the hydrants are fed from water mains.
This value was originally introduced to be used in combination with marker=* but sounds suitable on any feature directly involved in or dedicated to fire hydrants.
It then has been deprecated in favor of more suitable indication:emergency=fire_hydrant to restore the ability to utility=water when relevant.
