The snow piling up around Jackson is closer to the traditional levels not seen in the valley for some years, and more is on the way. While that is good news for winter sports and water supplies, the snow piles can hide fire hydrants when they are most needed. Teton County Fire Marshal Cathy Clay says part of our fire safety practices should include clearing snow away from our nearest hydrant. Clay says “That will help us so much in the process of putting out a fire – it’s significant.” She adds that it really is an easy thing for somebody to take ownership of their local fire hydrant and make sure that it’s shoveled out and that it’s visible for firefighters to be able to see in case of a fire, and to get to the fire hydrant quickly. Clay adds that making sure the house numbers are quickly visible from the street also improves the response time for fire and EMS crews.
