Time is critical during a fire.
Snow-covered hydrants can delay access to water, slowing efforts to save property.
Residents can support their local fire departments by: • Clearing snow from all sides of the hydrant, creating a three-foot radius around it. • Ensuring a clear path from the hydrant to the street. • Regularly checking hydrants after plows pass to ensure visibility.
We remind residents to remain safe while clearing hydrants, being mindful of passing traffic and avoiding overexertion while shoveling heavy snow.
Thank you for your continued support! |
