For all our Mt. Pleasant residents!

After every snowfall, we’re asking residents to “Adopt a Fire Hydrant” in your neighborhood. It’s simple:

✔️ Shovel a 3-foot area around the hydrant
✔️ Clear a path from the street to the hydrant
✔️ Make sure it’s visible and accessible

A hydrant buried in snow can slow down emergency response when time matters most. By keeping one hydrant clear this winter, you’re helping protect your home, your neighbors, and your entire community.

It only takes a few minutes, but it can make a life-saving difference.

💪 Adopt. Shovel. Protect.

Thank you for helping us keep our community safe all winter long!

📸Post your pictures in the comments below woth your clean hydrant!

to the Tanker 12s of days past! In these first photos, you will see the 1972 White tanker that served our community for several years until the current Tanker 12 arrived in 2004. In the next photos, you will see the 1964 Mack Tanker (the first Tanker 12) that we acquired used from our friends at , and served until we acquired the 1972 White in the mid 1990s.

A story Members like to tell goes that when responding to an alarm and driving uphill, a cyclist overtook the double clutch 1964 Mack because of how underpowered it was.

(Photo credit to the photographers, please DM or comment so we can give you credit.)

Just after 4:30AM this morning, 1 engine from Pocantico Hills FD was requested mutual aid to the Tarrytown Fire District for a working structure fire. Upon encountering frozen hydrants in the area, Crest Drive IC requested our Tanker to the scene instead. Engine 189 also ended up responding to the scene with additional manpower. Upon arrival Members from both T12 & E189 assisted with checking for fire extension and extensive overhaul before returning to service in about two hours.
