Engine 11 and Truck 14 working on a pine tree blocking McConnell Road earlier today.
The roadway was cleared by Denver firefighters and they notified NCDOT of the remaining vegetative debris for final clean up.
Safety isn’t optional. Always make sure your life jacket fits properly and is in good condition before heading out on the water. #safeboatingweek #safeboating #wearit
Over the next few weeks your Denver Firefighters will be out in the district completing fire hydrant maintenance.
Each hydrant will be checked for proper operation, proper clearance and static water pressure. Additionally, we will clear out around hydrants for visibility. New reflectors to mark and designate the amount of water available from the hydrants will also be placed.
If you have a hydrant near your home or business remember to help us out by following these general tips:
*Landscaping should not block the view of the hydrant from the street
*Never park vehicles, boats or place other objects that would block access to hydrants in am emergency
*Remember to keep a 360 degree clearance of 3 feet around the hydrants. Do not place bushes, trees, hardscape or other items within 3 feet of the hydrant.
If we notice any issues with clearance or visibility, our staff we leave you a reminder letter.
