Wellesley firefighters are urging the public to adopt and shovel out fire hydrants so that emergency personnel can easily get to the hydrants if necessary. WFD is even holding a contest, giving away shirts, hats etc., to some of those who share photos of them shoveling out hydrants on the fire department Facebook page.
Danielle Comella kindly sent along this photo of a hydrant being uncovered on Hickory Road.
Go Comellas. Keep calm and shovel on
If we can afford to spend $35 million on the north 40, we can afford to pay some high school students $15/hr to shovel the hydrants.
