It’s Not “Your Neighbor’s” Fire Hydrant
Fire hydrants located in your neighborhood serve the entire neighborhood—not just the property they sit in front of. If you notice a hydrant that has not been shoveled out, please consider working together with your neighbors to clear it.
A clear hydrant benefits everyone. While a fire can occur anywhere, the likelihood of a fire happening in the vicinity of a hydrant is far greater than only at the property where it is located. Quick access to hydrants can make a critical difference in an emergency.
Clearing fire hydrants is not the responsibility of volunteer firefighters or Township employees during or after a snowstorm. It is a shared community responsibility.
Please help keep hydrants accessible—your efforts could help protect lives and property.
