As snow continues to fall, the North Shore Fire Department wo uld like remind residents about the need to clear snow from around fire hydrants near their home. Please make it a point to uncover your fire hydrant after each and every snowfall. Clear a path approximately 3 feet around the hydrant and shovel a path from the street or roadway up to the fire hydrant. These actions will allow the Fire Department to quickly locate the fire hydrant in the event of an emergency. |
