State Fire Marshal asks fire departments and residents to clear hydrants of snow |
|
Monday, 08 February 2010 |

Indiana State Fire Marshal Jim Greeson is asking fire departments and citizens in areas affected by the winter storm to clear snow from around hydrants.
“Fire departments can’t find and clear every fire hydrant. They are taking care of fire and emergency medical response. Citizens must help. While you’re digging out from the snow, take a few extra minutes to clear nearby fire hydrants,” said Jim Greeson, Indiana Fire Marshal. “This will help fire departments and your neighbors in case of an emergency. Firefighters can more quickly find and access the water source provided by the hydrant. This could save time, property and lives in an emergency.”
Greeson also reminds Hoosiers to make sure house numbers are clear and visible. “Blowing snow can cover house numbers. Take a few minutes to make sure they’re readable.”
The State Fire Marshal’s office is a division of the Indiana Department of Homeland Security.
