(Le Mars) — With the five inches of snow we received this past weekend, along with the six to seven inches of snow being predicted for this evening and into Wednesday, plus another snow storm scheduled to hit the area for the upcoming weekend, Le Mars Fire Chief Dave Schipper is asking residents to help keep snow away from the city’s fire hydrants. Many times following
a heavy snowfall, fire hydrants can be buried under the snow.
Schipper says there are more than 600 fire hydrants located within the city limits, so his crew can’t clear all hydrants. He is asking residents to clear a path around the hydrant near your home.
