Crews Check Fire Hydrants for Winter

October 17, 2005

 

Moorhead Firefighters check every hydrant in town for proper operation and readiness for winter. 

The operating rod that opens up to allow water into the hydrant is worked, all caps are checked to make sure they are tight, physical condition and any water leakage into the hydrant from bad seals or high water tables are checked.

Water in the hydrants is pumped out to prevent freezing, and any damage or repair needs are passed along to Moorhead Public Service.
