Here in Minneapolis, the hydrants have five-point valve stems and cap stems.
Below is an old cast or forged Minneapolis Fire Department hydrant wrench that I picked up at an estate sale about ten years ago. "MFD" is embossed on the handle. "E 4" is painted on one side of the handle and "ENG 4" on the other.
More recently, I picked up a longer handle hydrant wrench from the estate sale of an acquaintence who, for many years, was a property inspector for the City of MInneapolis.
