With the large amount of snow that has accumulated over the past 24 hours, please help us, help you. Every second counts in the event of a fire. The quicker we can hook up to a hydrant, the quicker we can assist you. Please help us by keeping fire hydrants near your house or business clear of snow. As always, we appreciate our community and we hope you continue to have a safe winter!
