Keep Those Hydrants Clear!
The townâs fire marshalâs office is seeking residentsâ cooperation in keeping fire hydrants clear in light of recent snowfall.
The townâs volunteer fire companies ask that residents and businesses clear snow away from both conventional fire hydrants, which are charged with water, and dry hydrants, which are vertical pipes near bodies of water that are used for firefighting.
Also, businesses must clear snow away from their second exits or stair exits, according to the fire marshal.
