To assist with emergency response in the event of a fire, the Town of Shelburne is asking the public to be a “Hydrant Hero.”
“Help keep our community safe this winter by clearing snow from fire hydrants and catch basins,” said the Town of Shelburne in a social media post.
“In an emergency, every second counts. By keeping fire hydrants visible and accessible, you ensure that emergency services can respond quickly.”
In addition to assisting with emergency response, clearing snow from catch basins helps prevent street flooding and icy road conditions. This makes the town’s roads safer for everyone.
The Shelburne and District Fire Department and utilities staff at the Town of Shelburne would like to thank residents who have taken the time to clear snow from hydrants.
“Your efforts make a significant difference in keeping our community safe,” said the Town.
“We kindly ask for your continued support and help in this crucial task throughout the winter season. Your dedication and assistance are greatly appreciated!”
“Let’s work together to keep our neighborhood safe and sound,” said the Town.
