EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND SNOW REMOVAL
During an emergency situation, minutes make a difference. Early response is a critical factor in protecting life and property. During winter weather months, snow and ice create additional challenges for emergency personnel responding to calls for help. As a resident, your help makes a difference; it can help protect your family and neighbors.

Keeping driveways and walkways cleared of snow saves valuable time when emergency responders transport equipment and patients to or from your home or business. By regularly clearing snow away from fire hydrants, you are also helping to improve response times in the event of a fire in your neighborhood. In general, a minimum radius of five feet of snow clearing is necessary so that emergency personnel can easily see and quickly access fire hydrants.

PLEASE HELP YOUR NEIGHBORS
Snow removal may be difficult and even dangerous for elderly neighbors or those with health conditions. The Village encourages all residents to offer their assistance to neighbors in need. If you notice that a neighbor is unable to clear snow from their drive and walkway, or from hydrants on their property, please lend a hand. Here’s a list of what you can do to help...

• Clear snow from fire hydrants.
• Keep drives and walkways cleared of snow.
• Clear snow and ice away from your house numbers so they are visible from the street.
• Assist your neighbors in need.
