Across Canada, day by day our problem with buried fire hydrants is getting worse by the minute.
We are asking all Canadians to help us spread the message across Canada to start taking notice of our fire hydrants that are buried under snow, and lets get them cleared of snow so that our fire fighters will have easy access to them when needed.
It is easy to adopt a hydrant, find one near your home, in your neighbourhood, or business area that is in need of clearing and simply go and clear the snow away.
If you have children you can make this a family fun project by naming the hydrant, or hold a contest with the neighborhood children! The fire hydrant can become like a family pet and loved by all 🙂
This is good for you AND your local community, it instills pride of ownership and taking charge, you will be a better and stronger person and community for taking part.
If you would like a poster made up that you can share for your city just let us know and we will design one for you that you can use.
Please share this picture as much as you can, use the hastag #adoptahydrant as well.
Remember clearing a hydrant might just save your own life.
