Fire hydrant cover

A cover for a fire hydrant that includes a valve body having a valve stem extending upwardly therefrom, said cover comprising:

• a cup-shaped dome defined by a wall that is adapted to be positioned over and around the valve body;
• means for coupling said dome to the fire hydrant;
• an opening in said dome for rotatably receiving a tool that is adapted to mate with and angularly displace the valve stem between open and closed positions;
• and
• elongated and downwardly sloping drainage means formed in the outer surface of the wall of said dome, said drainage means having a first upper end positioned at a location proximate the valve stem and a second lower end positioned at a location opposite a portion of the valve body, said drainage means being further defined by side wall means connected to each other such that all surfaces of said drainage means are completely open to the atmosphere and face away from the interior of said dome throughout their entire length whereby fluid and/or debris can drain therefrom without collecting.
