Snow might not be sticking to the ground yet but that hasn’t stopped the Duchesne Volunteer Fire Department from reminding the public of proper snow removal around fire hydrants. As the snow falls and piles up please remember that any fire hydrants that are obstructed, hidden by bushes and fences, or covered with snow cannot be used by Fire personnel in an emergency.
Be mindful of any fire hydrants that might be on or near your property and clear out anything that might be in the way of fire personnel gaining access. In the winter months, this will mean clearing snow in a three foot radius around the hydrant. Consider adopting a hydrant so that this valuable asset can be used for its purpose to save homes in the event of a fire.
