Can you come out and fill my swimming pool?
|
|
The department does not fill residential swimming
pools. If a truck were to be used to fill a
swimming pool, this would mean that the truck
would not be available for other emergencies,
plus the truck would also need to replenish
it's water supply before responding on an emergency
call, possibly jeopardizing property and lives.

How come I have to shovel out the hydrant
in front of my house? Isn't this the fire departments
responsibility?
|
| Excess snow can often create problems for firefighters
when they need access to fire hydrants. If a hydrant
isn't accessible, firefighting capbility and safety
is compromised. To ensure that firefighters can
get to the hydrants when they need to, residents
are asked to shovel out around hydrants. |
| What is the ISO rating or Fire Protection
Rating? |
|
The fire protection rating for the fire department
is a 4. The ISO rating is based on the number
of fire hydrants and the city water system in
relation to homes and structures, the amount
of fire stations within the city, the response
time, and others factors.
