During the winter months, all DeKalb Community Citizens should be aware of any fire hydrant that may be covered with snow in your neighborhood.
Fire hydrants are very important for fire suppression.
If firefighters cannot find a fire hydrant because it is not visible, a large time delay to find another fire hydrant may result in further damage to your residence. During the winter months, residents are encouraged to look in their neighborhood to see if any fire hydrants are covered in snow. If they are, residents are asked to clean away the snow to make our community safer for everyone. If you have any neighbors that are not capable of cleaning away the snow, please help them. If you have any questions about the Adopt a Fire Hydrant Program or would like any information about fire safety, please contact the Fire Department at 748-8460.
