Clearing up

The Public Awareness Committee at the Westland Fire Department recently
reminded residents of the need to keep fire hydrants accessible during snow
storms. Keeping the hydrants clear of snow and ice will assure the safety of the
community, officials said, and ensure that firefighters can access them quickly
during an emergency. They suggest clearing away any snow and ice 3-feet from
all sides of the hydrant with a path to the street to allow firefighters to work quick-
ly.
