Is Your Fire Hydrant Visible and Accessible?

With the abundance of snow that we have received this winter, many fire hydrants are completely buried in snow banks. Have you checked the hydrant in your neighborhood?

In the event of an emergency, it is important that the hydrants are highly visible and accessible by the Fire Department. Having the snow cleared from the hydrant can save precious minutes when fighting a fire. The Windom Public Utilities asks that you please take a few moments periodically throughout the winter to make sure that fire hydrants near your home are free of snow and are easily accessible.

Remember, fire safety is everyone’s responsibility! Let’s make our neighborhoods safe!
