Due to the unusually high snowfall amounts we are experiencing this winter and in order to ensure the safety of the community we serve the Scarsdale Fire Department is asking every resident who has a fire hydrant on or near their property to shovel all snow away from the hydrant so that it is accessible by firefighters in case a fire occurs.
Career and volunteer firefighters have been working tirelessly over the past six weeks to keep snow cleared away from every hydrant, but with almost a thousand fire hydrants in the Village and with new snowfalls occurring each week this task is proving to be impossible.
Keeping the snow cleared away from your fire hydrant is a quick and easy way to help us to help you and your neighbors. Your assistance is appreciated!
Please contact the Scarsdale Fire Department at 722-1215 with any questions.
