| As the town and region prepares for this winter's snow storms, the Walkersville Rescue and Fire Companies asks that residents make sure that fire hydrants on their street, and in front of their homes and businesses, are cleared of snow and ice when these storms occur. Firefighting water is critical, and access to hydrants and homes are difficult due to snow piles or uncleared hydrants and walkways. Citizens are asked to make an extra effort to be sure hydrants are uncovered so we see them as well as have access to them. Walkersville Rescue and Fire Companies is prepared to handle incidents during the snow events and would like to thank all those who help us to respond in these storms, especially the state, county, and town roads crews who make sure we can get to incident scenes and in and out of the station! |
