City workers are busy with street and walkway snow removal and won’t have time to immediately uncover all the fire hydrants, according to Chief Jim Frye.
- Fire hydrant
A fire hydrant at the corner of Locust and Third streets has been cleared of snow. Fire Chief Jim Frye is asking homeowners to do the same for hydrants next to their property.
Hudson Fire Chief Jim Frye is asking for the public’s help in digging out fire hydrants buried in snow.
People with a fire hydrant in front of their residence are being asked to shovel the snow from on top and around it.
Frye said city workers are busy with street and walkway snow removal and won’t have time to immediately uncover all the hydrants.
Snow-covered hydrants can greatly delay fire-fighting efforts, Frye said, noting a recent fire in the Twin Cities where that was the case.
