As the weather gradually improves and more people spend time outdoors, it is important to remember that we are still in the winter season. In the event of a storm, residents who are able are asked to help keep fire hydrants near their property clear of snow and ice. Keeping access to your home and property passable for emergency responders is also essential in case help is needed.
If you are not physically able to clear a hydrant or if conditions are not safe, please contact the fire department at 570-868-3765. Community assistance with these tasks helps emergency services respond more efficiently and can save valuable time and effort.
