To ensure firefighters have easy access to hydrants, please take a moment to:
Clear a 3-foot area around the hydrant, making sure it’s free from snow and debris
Remove snow from the front and sides of the hydrant, not just the top, to prevent obstruction
Create a clear path from the street to the hydrant, allowing firefighters to quickly reach it
Avoid piling snow from driveways or sidewalks onto hydrants, as this can block access
In emergency situations, firefighters may need to access hydrants in a matter of seconds. Your help in keeping them clear can make a life-saving difference for a neighbor, family member, or even your own home. By taking these simple steps, you can play a vital role in helping us respond quickly and effectively to emergencies in our community. ️
