Important Notice from the Proctor Fire Department: Clear Snow from Fire Hydrants for Community Safety!
During the winter season, the Proctor Fire Department urges everyone to lend a helping hand in keeping our community safe. One critical aspect of winter safety is ensuring that fire hydrants remain accessible and unobstructed, even in snowy conditions.
Emergency Response Efficiency: In the event of a fire or other emergency, every second counts. Clearing snow from fire hydrants ensures that firefighters can quickly locate and access them, minimizing response times and enhancing our ability to protect lives and property.
Unhindered Water Supply: Fire hydrants serve as the primary source of water for firefighting operations. Snow accumulation around hydrants can impede access or render them inoperable, jeopardizing our ability to extinguish fires effectively.
Here’s how you can help
Clear a 3-Foot Radius: Please ensure there’s a clear space of at least three feet around the hydrant, removing snow and ice to ensure visibility and accessibility.
Adopt a Hydrant: If you have a fire hydrant near your property, consider “adopting” it for the winter season. Take responsibility for keeping it clear of snow and debris, and encourage your neighbors to do the same.
Together, let’s work hand in hand to ensure that our fire hydrants remain ready and accessible throughout the winter season. Your cooperation and proactive efforts are deeply appreciated and contribute to a safer, more resilient Proctor.
Thank you for your attention and commitment to community safety.
