It’s one of things that you don’t think about until it’s usually too late. All across the county, fire hydrants lay buried beneath the snow, hidden from plain view. Though the fire department has a general idea where each hydrant is located, do you really want them spending time digging it out while your
house burns?
I dug one out this afternoon. It took less than 15 minutes. You can too.
There are several efforts underway to mobilize the population to help out. In a recent
facebook posting
Ken Ulman even provided a link to
find the individual hydrants in your neighborhood. Just type in your address and voila!
I realize everyone has a little snow shoveling fatigue by now but this simple little task could make a world of difference in a bad situation.
