An Easy Life and Property Saving Measure in Greater Gardner MA
When time counts, a clear path to a fire hydrant may make the difference. The Gardner Fire Department posted, “Shoveling snow away from fire hydrants is crucial to ensure emergency responders can access them quickly in case of a fire. Delays caused by buried hydrants could hinder firefighting efforts, putting lives and property at risk. With the recent snowfall, please take a few minutes and shovel any fire hydrants near your home.”
Further suggestions: Clear at least 3 feet around the hydrant and clear a path to the street.
