Kings Park Fire Department Reminds Residents to Dig Out Fire Hydrants
Heavy snow has blanketed fire hydrants.
The Kings Park Fire Department is urging residents as they dig out to also dig out any fire hydrants in your area.
A bulletin on the KPFD reminds residents to avoid piling snow on or around fire hydrants. If possible, take a few extra minute to 'adopt' your nearest fire hydrant by clearing the snow around it. This improves a fire fighter's ability to quickly locate and access the hydrant in an emergency.
An accessible and properly functioning fire hydrant is a vital part of any firefighting operation.
