Buried Hydrants
In the event of a fire emergency during the winter, could firefighters find the hydrant near your home? Or does it get buried under a snow pile?
Keeping Hydrants Visible
The Fire Department is encouraging residents to "adopt a fire hydrant" near their home and keep snow shoveled away from it during the winter season. This will ensure hydrants are visible and will greatly speed the response time in case of an emergency. Please don't let your neighborhood hydrant remain under cover.
