With well over 20 inches of snow still on the ground, and the forecasters calling for another 12+ inches on Tuesday and Wednesday, several members began preparing for the additional snow.  Rigs have been fueled up, chains readied, and snow shovels added to the apparatus. 

On Monday, several members went out and shoveled out hydrants in the borough.  Many of the hydrants were nearly invisible or completely buried under mounds of pushed up snow.  It is important that these hydrants are uncovered so we can spot them when responding in to a fire.  Thanks to all the citizens that had already dug their local hydrant out.  Please remember, once the next batch of snow is done, and you are out cleaning walks, please clear out you house number and your local fire hydrant.
