Help us to help you!

As we start to wind down our standby your Hopewell Hose Volunteers would like to remind you to shovel out fire Hydrants, and ensure that your house number is visable!

Fire Hydrants play a key role in supplying us with the water necessary to extinguish fire. If we cant see or access the hydrant, we wont have the water necessary to fight the fire. House numbers should be visable so that in the event you need Fire or EMS, we can find your address without any delays.

We hope that we wont require this assistance, but in the event that we do we will be grateful.
