Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue is asking for the public’s help to keep fire hydrants visible.  Hydrants have been buried in snow, and fire department officials are asking residents to remove snow around them so in the event of a fire, firefighters can locate the hydrants for water supply.  Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue asks for a three-foot clearance around the hydrant, with clear access from the street to the hydrant.  Those with questions on how to clear a hydrant appropriately can call Mid-Columbia Fire and Rescue at 541-296-9445.
