Clear a Hydrant, Save a Life

The North Branford Fire Department is asking residents to assist them in clearing many of the 233 fire hydrants in town. Each of the hydrants are marked with reflective patriotic colored flags which were installed as part of an Eagle Scout project by town resident Daniel Cassidy.  

Allowing firefighters to locate a positive source of water in the early stages of fire incidents drastically improves operations effectiveness and efficiency and, most importantly, can minimize the damage caused by fire.

Of equal importance is making sure all homes and places of business have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. These life-saving devices are still available through the Fire Marshal's Office within Town Hall. Remember, the life we save may be yours.
