The McAdoo Fire
Company is reminding residents to dig out any nearby hydrants that are
covered by snow. Although firefighters have been out shoveling around
some of the hydrants after the recent storms, it's difficult for them to
get to all of them. The Fire Company needs the public's help. If
firefighters have to search for and shovel out the hydrant, the delay
could result in raising the risk of injury or death and possibly result
in additional property damage. So please make sure the hydrant near your
home or business is shoveled out. The fire hydrant should be cleared
about 2 to 3 feet on either side. The life or property you save may be
your own.
