UES Students Complete Adopt-A-Fire-Hydrant Program

Every September, the Moorestown Fire Department invites all the fourth grade Upper Elementary School students to participate in the annual Adopt-a-Fire-Hydrant program for the winter. All the students, along with their parents, must complete a fire department-issued application, requiring a signed parent’s consent.

When the child adopts the fire department-assigned fire hydrant this means they have promised during snow days to dig out a walk space from the curb line to the front discharge of the hydrant, and dig out a firefighter walk space completely around the hydrant. 

On May 20, the children who applied  for the 2012/2013 winter program were asked to report to the fire headquarters (Station 311) to receive their special thank-you gifts from the Division of Fire Prevention and participate in a group photograph.
