Residents are reminded by the Cinnaminson Fire Department to maintain fire hydrants available in the winter. In an emergency, time is of the essence, and firemen rely on hydrants to provide a steady supply of water. In order to make room for firemen to work and to create a clear access to the highway, residents are encouraged to remove snow and ice from around hydrants on their street. When it counts most, taking a few minutes to maintain hydrants clear can help crews work safely and effectively.
