2/8/2015 - NPD Facebook Post / 2.8.15 / Dig out those Fire Hydrants!

Ok ...Because we had fun with them in our earlier post this morning....This post is being shared on behalf of our Brother and Sister Firefighters .... This post was generated from the Waterbury Local #1339 of The International Association of Firefighters Association...
.... It's a great reminder of how important those buried fire hydrants can be...if you have one covered near your house- dig it out... It will be well worth the time and effort...

Waterbury Firefighters from Truck 2 clear snow to locate a fire hydrant. There are hundreds of fire hydrants that remain covered citywide as a result of the past few snow storms. With more snow and frigid temperatures in the forecast, we need your help. Seconds matter when fighting a structure fire! We need water to put out fires. What can you do? Clear an area of 4ft in diameter around a hydrant in front of your house. Or help a neighbor. HELP US - HELP YOU
