Please Clear the Snow from Your Fire Hydrants

Shaun Donovan — Sat, 23 Jan 2016 17:15:00 +0000

As you clear the snow in your neighborhood, please remember to clear a path to the fire hydrants. By removing the ice and snow from around the hydrants you will assist the fire department in any emergency responses that would require the use of the hydrant.

We recommend that you clear 3 feet to all sides of the hydrant as well as a path to the street. Most hydrants are very close to the curb, but there are some in our area that are several feet away from the street so please clear a path all the way out to the street.

Last Wednesday evening Crew 13 met at Harrisburg Bureau of Fire station #2 on 16th Street. The focus of the evening was donning turn-out gear and members practiced putting on the gear in 60 seconds or less. During the evening there was also time for the group to explore and learn about Wagon 4 and Tower 1 that are housed at the station. Crew members learned about various types of equipment carried by each piece. At the end of the tour they were able to get in the bucket of the tower, and also get a sneak preview of this week’s activities by getting a quick demonstration on the fire extinguishers.
