Here we go again. The Oreland Volunteer Fire Company would like to again ask our neighbors: While you’re out clearing your driveways and sidewalks, please take an extra few minutes to clear the fire hydrant nearest your home or business.
If there is a fire, precious minutes will be lost if firefighters first have to find the hydrant and then chip away the frozen snow to hook up their hoses. Please clear snow three feet in all directions around the hydrant. That will give the hose lines room to expand without kinking when they are charged with water.
After the last storm, many of you helped out by clearing the hydrants and it was greatly appreciated. Thank you! |
