Important Notice from Dungannon Volunteer Fire Department

The Dungannon Volunteer Fire Department would like to remind all residents of the importance of keeping driveways and access roads clear of overgrown brush, low-hanging tree limbs, and other debris that may prevent emergency vehicles from reaching your home or property.

Many of our fire apparatus are approximately 10 feet tall and require adequate width and clearance to safely travel driveways and private roads. Overgrown vegetation and obstructions can make access difficult and may result in damage to emergency equipment or delays in reaching those in need.

We understand that some properties present unique challenges, and in emergency situations, our firefighters will do everything possible to gain access and provide assistance. However, maintaining clear access routes can make a significant difference in how quickly and safely emergency responders can reach you.

This has been an issue we have encountered in the past, and while our members have worked through these situations to the best of their ability, prevention is always the best solution. We encourage all property owners to periodically inspect their driveways and access roads and remove any obstacles that could hinder emergency response.

Your cooperation helps us better serve our community and could save valuable time during an emergency.

Thank you for your support and commitment to safety.

🚒 Fire Hydrant Safety Notice – Dungannon Volunteer Fire Department 🚒

This past week we was out inspecting all hydrants and got to say i was impressed how the community has stepped up and helps maintain the grounds around most of them!! We have a list of a couple that we will go back and get the site cleaned up a little better in the coming week or two.

We will also start our annual Flow Testing of all hydrants as soon as we get the remander 3 or 4 sites cleaned up. And pending results we may need to repaint the tops because different colors mean different flow rates.

Fire hydrants are a critical part of our community's fire protection system. Every second counts during an emergency, and firefighters must have immediate access to hydrants when responding to fires.

For the safety of our residents, please remember:

🔹 Never park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. This distance is required in many jurisdictions to allow firefighters room to connect hoses and operate equipment safely. This applies to public and private driveways. This is a Va State Code

🔹 Keep hydrants visible and accessible at all times. Do not allow shrubs, fences, decorations, vehicles, trailers, or other objects to block access. Fire codes commonly require at least 3 feet of clear space around hydrants.

🔹 Property owners are encouraged to help maintain hydrant access. Trim vegetation and remove snow, debris, or other obstructions that may prevent firefighters from locating and using a hydrant quickly.

🔹 Blocked hydrants can delay emergency response. A vehicle or obstacle in front of a hydrant may hinder firefighters' ability to supply water to a fire, potentially putting lives and property at risk.

🚨 Remember: Parking too close to a hydrant can result in citations, towing, or emergency personnel taking whatever action is necessary to gain access during a fire.

The Dungannon Volunteer Fire Department appreciates your cooperation in helping keep our community safe. By keeping fire hydrants clear and accessible, you are helping firefighters protect lives and property when every second matters.

"Keep It Clear – Firefighters Need Access Here!"

Yall keep up the great work and we thank each and every one in our community for your support.
