Having a readily available supply of water to first responders during a fire emergency can mean the difference between saving a structure and its inhabitants. Be proactive and familiarize yourself with the hydrant located closest to your home or business and collaborate with friends and neighbors to clear snow accumulation during winter storms.
The Town of Sudbury’s Adopt a Hydrant initiative is a great way for our community to work together to safeguard against snow-buried hydrants during the winter season.
