Adopt a hydrant

State Fire Marshal Stephen D. Coan today urged residents to "adopt" a fire hydrant when they are digging out from the storm.

"As you dig your way out of this storm, please adopt your nearest fire hydrant," Coan said in a press release. He added, "In a fire seconds count, so please help your local firefighters by removing snow from around the hydrant nearest to your home. It could be your house or your neighbor’s that you help them save."
