My name is
Fireplug and I am here to tell you about the Adopt-A-Hydrant program that my Mom
has started. You see, I am a puppy so she is always having to take me
outside to play no matter what the weather is and she noticed how sad I would
get when I couldn't see my best buddies , the fire hydrants.
My buddies
don't get a lot of attention, but they play a big role in helping the
firefighters fight fire. They can be found down the street, at a corner or
across the driveway; one should never fear, a hydrant is always near.
This program is a way for families to play an important role in our
community by keeping my buddies clear of snow and leaves so that I can still see
them. More importantly, so that the firefighters can spot them easily in
an emergency.
If you decide to adopt a hydrant, don't forget to name him or her.
If you can, have someone take a “family” pictures and I can add it to
my picture
album. I mail out a "Hydro-Letter" with fire safety tips
and the latest adopted hydrants every month. Oh, and I get to give out
prizes.
