PSA: Winter Safety Alert from the Ashland Fire Department

001We're out here in a residential neighborhood and I'm going to clean out this fire hydrant. And I encourage everybody at home to take care of that hydrant that's immediately outside their house as long as you can do it safely. If it's a street that's really a lot of traffic, you want to be careful. But I'm going to clean this hydrant out here and show you. It's pretty easy. We just need to be able to get around it in case we have to hook up some fire hoses to it. Basically, we want to be able to get all around it and down to the ground level. So, I'm going to continue cleaning around. So, that's about it. As long as you can get around it, find the steamer connection. Yeah. the best you can around it. We can hook up our fire hoses and this will probably save someone's life and their property.
