2/5/14 - Due to the recent storm and overall amount of snow this season, local residents and businesses are being reminded to keep fire hydrants and exterior doors accessible. Fire hydrants become blocked by snow, especially in parking areas and local departments remind that in order to access them during emergencies, they have to be able to find them. Homeowners are asked to clear a three-inch circle around hydrants while businesses are being asked to work with their snow plow companies to make sure snow isnât being piled on top of hydrants. Officials also find that many exit doors become blocked by snow and advise residents and businesses to check all doors and make sure they can open easily. (JM)
