Winter Hazards
Adopt a fire hydrant and keep it clear of snow – seconds count during a fire! For their safety, don't let kids play or tunnel in snow banks near roadways after snowstorms – plow drivers cannot see them. Winter storms can bring heavy snow, ice, strong winds and freezing rain. Heavy snow can also cause structural damages and power outages.
