I shoveled out my fire hydrant.
I called the Fire Department. They appreciate any help in clearing hydrants of snow, or even just making a path to the hydrants. They don’t have the manpower to get to all of them.
But don’t throw the snow back onto the street!
Now is a perfect time to do this, with no cars on the road.
Dan, the fire department in our town has attached a metal post with something on the top, so that people can find the hydrants more easily in big snowstorms. I think Westport should consider doing something like that.
