Summer Safety: Fire Hydrants
Don’t risk a life. Parking your car in front of a fire hydrant delays firefighters from getting water on a fire!
An open fire hydrant without a sprinkler cap wastes 1000 gallons of water per minute--as much in an hour as an entire family of four uses in a year! Open fire hydrants will also hamper firefighting capabilities, putting your neighborhood at risk.
If you must use the hydrant to stay cool, visit your local firehouse and they will install a Sprinkler Cap and open the hydrant for use.
To report a blocked fire hydrant or an improperly opened fire hydrant Dial 311.
