Mayor Corradino Asks Oswego Residents to Clear Snow From Fire Hydrants

OSWEGO, N.Y. – Oswego Mayor Robert Corradino is asking city residents to help keep the city safe following the recent winter storms.

It’s no secret that this year has brought some of the heaviest snowfall in recent memory for Oswego. But aside from dangerous road conditions, the snow presents even more safety concerns for the city.

Mayor Robert Coradino is asking residents of the City of Oswego to clear snow off of fire hydrants across the city.

The city has over 900 fire hydrants, which can get buried under major snow banks as plows clear the roads. An issue that, according to Paul Conzone, the fire chief for the West Side Oswego Fire Station, can lead to some serious problems.

Clearing snow off of these buried fire hydrants can help save time in case of an emergency, and possibly even save lives.

Following the heavy snowfall this weekend, first responders are already working hard to keep the community safe, and helping clear snow is just one way to make their jobs a little easier.
