Continued: Fire Hydrants

Of course we all know that no one should park a vehicle in the way of a fire hydrant.  If you should see someone park in front of a hydrant, please discuss with him or her possible dangers in doing so, or call the local police to report it.  

If a fire hydrant is not properly maintained and available for the fire company to use in the event of an emergency, additional injury, loss of property, or worse may occur. 

We ask that you “adopt” the fire hydrant near your home or business and help make an important difference in life safety.   

Fire safety is something that everyone needs to be aware of 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Do not wait until it is too late, practice fire safety every day!
