Hydrants need a helping hand

Aquatera just released the following info ... I know we're all tired of shoveling but this is a major safety issue:
 
Grande Prairie, AB – Somewhere in a snowbank near your property is a fire hydrant that may be desperately needed on a moment’s notice. 
 
Aquatera and local fire departments are urging the public to clear out hydrants near or on their property regularly so they can be used at a moment’s notice by fire crews in the region.  Fire hydrants should be easily accessible from the street, and have clearance of one metre on all sides of the hydrant, as well as two metres on each side of the hydrant. 
 
Aquatera provides approximately 2300 hydrants throughout Grande Prairie, the County of Grande Prairie and Town of Sexsmith, as part of service agreements with municipal governments.  Hydrants are typically located 200 metres or less from each other, and provide fire crews quick and easy access to water in emergencies.
