On January 26, 2026, the Warren Fire Department reminded residents to use caution while clearing snow following recent winter weather. Each year, approximately 5,000 people nationwide are treated for snow blower–related injuries, many caused by improper clearing of jams or rushing through snow removal. Residents are urged to take their time, operate equipment safely, and remain cautious while traveling, as road conditions may still be hazardous. Fire crews will be out throughout the day clearing hydrants to ensure emergency access.
