I noticed a lot of people do not clear around their local fire hydrant when it snows. It's not that hard, just do it!

Good post. You would think more folks with hydrants would do it.
Since most house fires occur in the winter...the math is pretty easy to figure out.

Had to tell folks on my street not to pile snow on top of ours! I had to explain why. I was dumbfounded.

Heard a story one time where a kid built a big snowman over/around a fire hydrant. A bunch of high schoolers thought it would be funny to run down the snowman in their car and well.....
...and we wonder why people vote the way they do...

I plow snow, and we make sure that every hydrant in our lots is accessible.

leaving them covered in the city adds an additional parking space to the block...

Most folks never think about this stuff.
"It'll never happen to me."
Until it's too late.
Good post.

~Last year I dug out the closest hydrant to my house (actually was during snowmegedon I stand corrected). Our hydrant is at the end of the street exactly where it is most easy for the guys pushing the plow to stack deep. If we had a fire tonight we would be in big trouble.
I did notice they put flags on every hydrant an fiberglass rods on each corner of each drain. All was promptly ignored in my neighborhood. Why not have the plow guys plant the markers?

It's easy to find them, they have yellow snow all around them!

Who plows your neighborhood? Municipality or some yokal an HOA pays? Most Local Gov plows I see have more decency than some Private Bubba's.
Either way, snow plowing there can't be much done depending on where the hydrant is and how the snow has to moved out of the way on the roads.
I see people always complaining about snow plow drivers piling up snow on driveways, sidewalks, etc. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that snow has to moved to the side in order to get the road clear. No one says these people aren't allowed to grab a shovel and do work if they see a big pile of cold white shit that makes them hot and bothered.

There is a hydrant directly across the street from my house. There is usually a different family living there every winter. Usually the people that live there are pretty good at keeping it clear. If not, I clear around it.
