WCFD is an all hazard response agency providing Structural Fire Protection, Wildland Fire Suppression, Technical Hazardous Material Response, Emergency Medical Response, and Fire Prevention/Education to a permanent population of 23,530 citizens with a summer population spike from 40,000 to 100,000 at peak times.
Could you please tell me your policy regarding fire hydrants in the winter, who is responsible to keep them clear?
Please check with your various local ordinances, as different areas have different rules, or check with your HOA if applicable. In a lot of instances if the hydrant is in front of your property it is the homeowners responsibility to keep it clear (same as a sidewalk that runs along your property).
