Adopt A Hydrant – Save A Life

The Radnor Fire Company wants to remind citizens as they clear their driveways and sidewalks this winter that if there is a fire hydrant on or near your property, please take a few moments and shovel the snow away from it as well. Clearing the snow away from a hydrant increases its visibility and can save precious time when firefighters need additional water to fight a fire.

Please clear a path around three feet around the hydrant and shovel a path from the street or roadway up to the fire hydrant. Fire hydrants that are blocked or concealed by snow may potentially delay gaining a water supply, which ultimately disrupts the timely manner in which firefighters are able to fight the fire.

Radnor Fire Company Fire Chief James Kelly states, "We strongly encourage all residents to 'adopt a hydrant on their street' during this winter. With more snow on the way we are concerned that hydrants already covered in the snow will become even harder to locate."  In addition, please make sure your street address signage on their mailboxes is also clear from snow to allow proper identification and make it easier for emergency crews to location you house during emergency responses.

The Radnor Fire Company wants citizens to know that they appreciate their help in the removal of snow from around local fire hydrants.
