Residents urged to clear snow around fire hydrants to speed emergency responses in Mon-Dak winter.

In the Mon-Dak region, winter snowfall has prompted residents to clear their driveways and sidewalks, but they are also urged to shovel around nearby fire hydrants. Snow-covered hydrants can delay firefighters, costing critical minutes in emergencies. With winter bringing added fire risks from candles, holiday lights, and heating equipment, local fire departments, unable to clear all hydrants, rely on residents to ensure quick access to these hydrants, which can significantly impact emergency response times and save lives.
