Woodbury Seeks 'Hydrant Heroes'

From the city's InTouch system

The City of Woodbury needs your help in making sure fire hydrants are accessible to firefighters this winter!

Each winter, the city has encouraged residents to "adopt a fire hydrant" near their home and keep snow shoveled away from it during the winter season. This ensures hydrants are visible and will greatly speed the response time in case of an emergency. Please don't let your neighborhood hydrant remain "under cover."

This year, to emphasize the importance and also inject some fun into a potentially back-breaking task, the City of Woodbury would like to recognize its "Hydrant Heroes" by posting their photos on the city's Facebook page and Twitter feed. Just send in a digital photo of you and your "adopted" fire hydrant along with your name and the location of your fire hydrant (street name is fine) to info@ci.woodbury.mn.us and the city will post it!

Your help is greatly appreciated! For more information on the program, visit www.ci.woodbury.mn.us/news-a-events/139-adopt-a-fire-hydrant-this-winter.
