9, 2010 - With all of the snow that has fallen this winter,
fire hydrants have become buried. In the event of an emergency
situation where a fire hydrant is needed, the hydrant will be
hard to find and dig out in a timely manner. If you have a
hydrant on or near your property, help us out by digging a
three foot area around the hydrant as well as path to get to
it. This will also help to reduce the ice build-up on the
hydrant so that we will be able to get the caps off. |
