Nassau County Fire Marshals Office Alert

***** HUNDREDS OF FIRE HYDRANTS SNOW COVERED *****

DUE TO THE RECENT WINTER STORM, HUNDREDS OF FIRE HYDRANTS COUNTYWIDE HAVE BECOME SNOW COVERED.

BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW, AS WELL AS PLOWING OPERATIONS TO OPEN OUR ROADS HAVE CAUSED MANY HYDRANTS TO BECOME TOTALLY BURIED, POSING A GRAVE DANGER SHOULD THEY BE NEEDED IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE.

HOMEOWNERS AND BUSINESS OWNERS COUNTYWIDE ARE BEING ASKED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO LOCATE AND CLEAR A FIRE HYDRANT WHICH MAY BE IN FRONT OF OR NEAR THEIR PROPERTY, MAKING IT EASILY VISABLE TO FIREFIGHTERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS.

DOING SO MAY SAVE A LIFE.
