I got the dataset from the city for fire hydrants, and I'm prepared to
import them into OpenStreetMap.

The wiki page can be found here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Import/GrandJunctionCOUSAFireHydrants

I've trimmed the message due to size limitations and removed phone
numbers.

The intended usage is for websites and applications like
OpenFireMap.org and OSMAnd, both of which show fire hydrants and the
positions of fire stations (if the data is there). Both of those use
OpenStreetMap.org data for both the base map and the locations of fire
hydrants and fire stations.

Thank you,
