Snow clearing Fire Hydrants

This is a reminder that when shovelling snow around your driveway and walkways, please do not pile the snow around or ontop of the fire hydrants.  As you know, fire hydrants are a very important tool in fighting fires. Please leave a one meter clearing around the hydrants so that Fire Fighters can easily access the hydrant. You never know when the hydrant near your home might be needed and every second counts in a fire. Thank you for your cooperation
