Flin Flon Fire Chief Chad Cooper is asking residents to help them out in emergencies.  He explains they are looking for the community’s help in clearing fire hydrants around the community.  He notes their fire engines carry only five minutes of water supply without being supplied by a fire hydrant so please ensure that fire hydrants on your street are clear of snow and visible from the street and it’ll save valuable time for fire crews if they have to respond to an emergency at your house.

Cooper adds your help will ensure fire crews are able to find and use the hydrants providing valuable seconds that could save your or a loved ones life.
