Snow & Ice Season: Tips & information

Fire Hydrants need clearance

To those who have fire hydrants in their yards — After a heavy snowstorm, fire hydrants throughout the neighborhood should be cleared 3 feet around so that, if needed, firefighters won’t have to spend time digging out before connecting their hoses. In an emergency, every second counts.

PLEASE – Stay off the ice!

If a person or animal falls in, CALL 911.

South Metro Fire Rescue’s firefighters are trained and equipped to rescue people and pets from icy lakes and ponds. You are not. You don’t have the training nor the special equipment. If a person or animal falls in, please CALL 911 and let the first responders do what they are trained to do.

Snowplows and Shoveling

On snowy days, the Public Works team sends their snowplows to follow the Snow Priority Route Map. Please — give snowplows a wide berth on the road!

And remember, residents and businesses are required to remove snow from sidewalks and other public right-of-ways on their property within 24 hours after every snowfall.
