When clearing snow on your property please remember to remove the snow from around the Fire Hydrants.

A hydrant in your neighbor's yard is there to protect your family and your home too.  

Please work with your neighbors to keep the hydrants clear.

Buried Hydrants delay access to the water supply that may be needed to fight a fire in your neighborhood.
