The Grand Forks Fire Department is asking residents to do their best to keep snow cleared around their neighborhood fire hydrants. This will allow firefighters quicker access to the hydrants in case of emergency.
City crews from the Water Maintenance Department are also clearing snow around hydrants on the major thoroughfares in the city. They are asking for assistance in clearing hydrants in residential neighborhoods.
With more snow sure to be on the way, this valuable public service will protect your family and neighbors.
