Maynard, MA - Firefighters in Maynard are actively clearing snow-covered hydrants following the recent storm to ensure quick and reliable access in emergencies. When every second counts, having unobstructed hydrants can make a critical difference in saving lives and property.
Residents are advised to drive with caution, as crews may be working on or near roadways.
Community members are encouraged to lend a hand by clearing the hydrant closest to their home or business. Even a few minutes of effort can significantly reduce response times during emergencies.
The Maynard Fire Department extends its gratitude to the community for their continued support and commitment to keeping Maynard safe.
