The Town of The Blue Mountains would like to inform the public that snow-clearing efforts are ongoing around municipal fire hydrants.
Crews will continue to clear snow and are asking for the public's assistance in uncovering hydrants. The Town would like to thank the residents who have been helping during the storm to keep hydrants accessible. These efforts have helped keep the community safe in case of an emergency.
The Blue Mountains Fire Department would like to remind residents to clear around vents and gas meters after major snowfalls. Blocked vents can cause carbon monoxide build-up in homes. Ice should also be cleared from above to prevent damage from falls.
