The following days after the snow storm members from South Wall are pictured clearing out hydrants in our Districts. When every second counts having clear access to a fire hydrant is essential for firefighters as we respond to fires. Snow can be considered an obstruction and we would appreciate residence to be mindful of conditions of hydrants when shoveling driveways and side walks. Adopt a hydrant near you and clear a 3 foot radius around it for safety!
Members have had a busy first two weeks of 2014 so far with 17 calls total to date 13 of them being in the last 7 days. Calls range between motor vehicle accidents, alarms, broken water pipes and sprinklers due to the extreme cold.
