CARMEL — As Central Indiana prepares for another round of snowfall, fire officials are urging you to make sure your fire hydrants are clear of any snow. “Those seconds can matter if it’s your house that’s on fire,” Tim Griffin with the Carmel Fire Department told WRTV.If they aren’t clear, it could impact emergency response times for firefighters. In the event of an emergency, firefighters say they must first locate and dig out buried hydrants before they can connect hoses.
