fire hydrants

If you have a hydrant on your property, our volunteers ask that you please clear trees, brush, shrubs, debris, etc. at least 3 feet away from the hydrant in all directions, and all the way to the curb if possible. Vehicles on the road should be parked at least 15 feet away from a hydrant. Please make an effort to shovel snow away from hydrants in the winter. The faster we can access a hydrant, the faster we can help you or your neighbors. Thank you.

move over law

New York’s “Move Over” Law went into effect on January 1, 2011. The law protects emergency workers, tow and service operators, and other maintenance workers stopped along roadways while performing their duties. Drivers must use care when approaching an emergency vehicle and should move over at least one lane. If traffic prevents moving over, drivers should slow down as much as reasonably possible. The law applies to both sides of the roadway, not just the right shoulder.
