Adopt-a-Fire Hydrant

Winters in White Bear Lake can be cold and snowy, with an average of 52 inches of snow annually. If there was an emergency in your neighborhood, could firefighters locate the closest fire hydrant? Chances are you know where they are located and can help maintain access to them.

What does it mean to Adopt-A-Hydrant?

This program asks community members to clear snow and ice 3 feet around fire hydrants and clear a pathway to the street. This will allow firefighters to focus on fire department operations during emergencies when every second is critical.
