Ledyard Fire Company District #1: The travel ban is still in effect, and for good reason, this is Gallup Hill Rd. behind the high school. Please heed this ban, it gives public works a chance to work on clearing the roads. [see above photo]
Several emergency & PWD vehicles have become briefly stuck on numerous main roads in town. Please avoid travel as indicated in the travel ban. Thank you!
8:08 p.m. Update
Ledyard News: From the Ledyard Fire Marshal: With exterior vents placed only about 12 inches from the ground, snow accumulation could hamper the proper and safe operation of direct-vent appliances that expel products of combustion, such as carbon monoxide, to the outdoors.
All vented appliances require an uninterrupted supply of fresh air and a clear exhaust path in order to work properly and safely.
Blowing and drifting snow or snow sliding off a roof can block the intake and exhaust vents, forcing appliances to automatically shut down and possibly causing serious damage and/or health risks.
