💥Are you ready to be a Hydrant Hero? 🦸

There have been numerous incidents throughout the State where firefighters have been unable to access the nearest hydrant in an emergency due to it being poorly marked, obstructed by parked cars, mud or debris, or over-grown vegetation. Poorly maintained or unusable hydrants result in critical time being lost while firefighters clear the hydrant or search for and access another hydrant further from the fire.

This is where you come in! We’d like to encourage members of our community to be a Hydrant Hero following 3 simple steps;

1. Find your closest water hydrant
2. Clear around the hydrant and ensure it is clearly marked and accessible.
3. If maintenance or marking is required, report it to us and we’ll take it from there!
