WAFD members are out shoveling hydrants. Please be careful of them in the streets ! Ty to all the neighbors that have taken the time to do the ones near their homes. Fire doubles every minute! so seconds count.

With the snowstorm coming tomorrow into Monday, please make your exhaust vents for your furnace, water heater, and any other gas fueled appliances are clear. If they become blocked by snow or ice, it will cause deadly carbon monoxide to build up in your house.

Also, please make sure fire hydrants are cleared with a 3 foot perimeter around all sides and a clear path to the hydrant from the street.
