City of Canton issued the following announcement on Jan. 21.
The Canton Fire Department is asking for your help to potentially save lives. The “Adopt-A-Hydrant” program helps combat obstacles created by snow, ice and winter weather. It’s simple: If you’re a resident and business owner, then consider adopting a fire hydrant close to your home or business and pledge to keep it clear for firefighters to access in case of emergencies. Immediate access to a water supply helps to swiftly extinguish the fire and prevent loss of life and property. During the winter season, you are asked to clear a three-foot area around the hydrant and ensure there is a path to the roadway so the hydrant is visible and easily accessible. Thanks, in advance, for helping improve public safety in the City of Canton!
