RFD Asking For Help To Clear Snow Covered Hydrants Before New Storm

Just a reminder ahead of this snowstorm coming between Wednesday night through Friday. If you have a fire hydrant in front of your home, business, or apartment make sure you clear it.

The Rochester Fire Department is asking for help from the community as there are about 9 inches of snow expected. If you can safely remove the snow around the hydrant so emergency responders can see it that will help.

They are also asking to make sure your car is not blocking a hydrant or blocking the street.

The City of Rochester announced they will be towing cars that are blocking and/or are snow-covered and haven’t been moved since the last snowstorm. You will have to move your vehicle Wednesday after that it will be towed. If your car is towed you will have to pay towing and storage fees.
